Hence, the state is projected to need topurchase renewable energy credits (REC’s). Projected purchases of REC’s are shown in Table 19.Under the 20% RES, from 2010 to 2025, a cumulative total of 158,374 million kWh of REC’s isprojected to be purchased. Under the 25% RES, a total of 82,907 million kWh of REC’s is22 ___ Federal Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Impacts on <strong>Florida</strong>
projected to be purchased. The REC’s purchases were allocated to BEA regions based uponcounty population for residential use and based upon county business patterns for commercialuse.Table 19.

Theimpacts reported in this section include both the impacts of investing in and operating arenewable electricity industry. The impacts from the renewable electricity industry will come notonly from electricity generation, but also from production of feedstocks for renewable electricity.Therefore, impacts are also reported for harvesting dedicated energy crops, collecting livestockmanure, and of land shifts out of traditional crops to dedicated energy crops, and the impacts ofa change in electricity prices (assuming the increased cost of producing the renewable electricityis passed on to consumers). Impacts presented include total industry output, employment, andvalue-added to the state’s and BEA Regions’ economies.More detailed tables are presented in Appendix C, which display two types of impacts,direct and total. The direct impacts are the expenditures directly from the additions to demandfor a particular industry. The total impacts include the direct impacts along with impacts frommultiplier effects. These additional impacts include both indirect and induced. The indirectimpacts are those that result from the industry’s expenditures on input supplies and services.The induced impacts are those that result from those who are employed in the industry spendingtheir income in the study region.Economic Impacts: Investment in a Renewable Electricity IndustryBased upon the facilities numbers, facilities locations by BEA Region, and expenditures byrepresentative facilities shown in Appendix B, economic impacts are projected using IMPLAN.Economic impacts by BEA Region from the investment in additional renewable energy facilitiesunder each of the three policy scenarios are shown in Appendix C Tables C.1-C.3.
