wimby-jobcreation 1.0.0

A package for the WIMBY job creation functions

wimby_jobcreation

Estimate wind farm job creation across all project stages using publicly available data and models.

---

Overview

The wimby_jobcreation package provides a model to estimate job creation throughout the lifetime of individual wind farms. It draws from scientific and grey literature to offer robust, stage-specific employment estimations.

---

Key Features

• 🔹 Estimates direct, indirect, and induced job creation.
• 🔹 Covers all life stages: development, construction, manufacturing, operation & maintenance, and decommissioning.
• 🔹 Calculates employment factors in job-years per megawatt (job-years/MW) for individual wind farms.

Installation

Install the latest version from PyPI:

pip install wimby_jobcreation

Usage

import wimby_jobcreation as wjc

# Example usage
turbine_capacity = 3  # Capacity in MW
onshore_offshore = 'Onshore'  # Type of wind farm
statistics = wjc.calculate_job_creation_statistics(jobcreation_review_data.csv)  # Load model statistics
country = 'UK'  # Country context
number_of_turbines = 5  # Number of turbines

# Calculate employment factors
results = wjc.calculate_employment_factors_with_regression(
    turbine_capacity, 
    onshore_offshore, 
    statistics, 
    country, 
    number_of_turbines
)

print(results)
