Employment Opportunities

Construction of Solana is expected to require more than 1,500 people between the years of 2008 and 2012. In addition, Solana’s operation will require 85 highly trained staff people.

While those positions are related directly to Solana, the plant’s economic impact is much greater. Local businesses will benefit from increased revenues from the sale of general goods and services which the plant staff and construction personnel will need. These goods and services include everything from technical services such as welding, to restaurants, auto repair and housing.

Studies have estimated the total dollar impact during construction of a plant like Solana to be roughly equal to the total capital investment in the plant plus the creation of an additional 11,000 to 15,000 jobs.
