Strategic Economic Research, LLC (SER) is a leading consulting firm specializing in economic impact analysis for renewable energy projects across the United States. We provide developers with clear, data-driven insights into the economic benefits of solar, wind, and battery storage projects, equipping them with the information needed to engage community members, policymakers, and other stakeholders throughout the permitting process. Our reports quantify job creation, earnings, economic output, and property tax contributions, helping to build community support and facilitate project approvals. Founded by Dr. David G. Loomis, an Emeritus Professor of Economics at Illinois State University, SER brings over 20 years of expertise in energy economics. Our team of professionals has completed over 400 economic impact reports across 35 states, working with many of the top renewable energy developers. We use industry-standard IMPLAN modeling to ensure our analyses accurately reflect the full economic impact of each project at the local, county, and state levels. SER offers a comprehensive Land Use Analysis to help developers assess whether a solar farm is a better economic use of land than agriculture. This standalone report compares agricultural profits to solar lease earnings, analyzes historical crop patterns using satellite imagery, evaluates soil productivity and prime farmland classification, and considers the feasibility of solar development based on grid access and solar irradiance. It also projects how advancements in agricultural technology could offset land loss within 0-3 years and examines the end-use of crops, including biofuels. Beyond delivering reports, SER provides on-site support through expert testimony and presentations at open houses. Our team is available to travel and present findings to stakeholders, including county boards, permitting authorities, and local communities. By offering in-person expertise, we help developers address concerns, answer key economic questions, and build confidence in the benefits of their projects. In addition to detailed analysis and in-person expertise, we provide innovative tools to help developers communicate their project’s economic benefits effectively. We offer a video service that visually explains key findings from our economic impact reports. These videos simplify complex economic data, addressing common questions about direct, indirect, and induced impacts, full-time equivalent jobs, and tax contributions. This tool enables developers to engage communities, landowners, and decision-makers in a more accessible and compelling way. At SER, we are committed to supporting the growth of renewable energy by providing high-quality, customized analysis that demonstrates its positive impact on communities. Whether through detailed reports, engaging video content, expert presentations, or in-depth land use assessments, we equip developers with the tools they need to advocate for their projects successfully. | Strategic Economic Research, LLC (SER) is a leading consulting firm specializing in economic impact analysis for renewable energy projects across the United States.
