The International Jobs and Economic Development Impacts (I-JEDI) model, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is a freely available model that estimates gross economic impacts from wind, solar, biopower, and geothermal energy projects around the world. 



This webinar will cover opportunities for the I-JEDI model to assist countries in assessing job and economic impacts of clean energy options to support green economic recovery. It will also include a demonstration of I-JEDI for potential users and a panel about the tool’s applications in South Africa.
