Strategic Economic Research
Strategic Economic Research, LLC (SER) provides economic impact and land use analysis for renewable energy projects across the U.S. Our reports help developers communicate the benefits of solar, wind, and battery storage to communities, permitting authorities, and policymakers. We quantify job creation, earnings, output, and property taxes using industry-standard IMPLAN modeling.
Founded by Dr. David G. Loomis, SER has completed over 600 reports in 38 states. Our Land Use Analysis compares solar to agriculture using satellite imagery, soil data, crop trends, lease revenue, and grid access. It also considers ag tech advances and crop end uses like biofuels.
In addition to written reports, we offer expert testimony, open house presentations, and custom explainer videos to help developers clearly communicate economic data. SER delivers trusted analysis and tools to support renewable energy growth and build local support for clean energy projects.
