DOCKET 12-IEP-1D DATE JUN 06 2012 RECD. JUN 06 2012 Comments of the Geothermal Energy Association Submitted to the California Energy Commission Workshop on Jobs and Renewable Energy in California, Docket Number 12-IEP-1D June 6, 2012 GEA appreciates the efforts of the California Energy Commission in conducting this integrated energy planning and policy process. GEA believes that this undertaking is particularly important as California seeks to meet its clean energy goals under AB 32, the California Renewable Portfolio Standard, and other related electric power supply and environmental initiatives. The workshop will “seek input from experts, stakeholders, and the general public on issues related to job creation and economic development associated with renewable energy development in California.” In particular, the workshop plans to address: 1) employment needs by renewable technology; the number, type, and location of jobs that have been created in California by renewable energy businesses; and expectations of job creation by 2020; 2) effectiveness of current job training programs and the benefits of connecting those programs with local economic development efforts; and 3) challenges faced by renewable businesses in creating California jobs. These comments supplement those submitted June 5, 2012 for the workshop on costs which covered: the full value of geothermal power, comparative job creation, pricing impacts and policy, system integration, and transmission. Geothermal Energy and California Job Creation Geothermal power plants provide a substantial number of permanent jobs and an even larger number of construction and drilling-related jobs. A recent example is the new Energy Source Hudson Ranch 1 geothermal power plant, which recently was brought on-line in Southern California. This 49.9 MW project created more than 200 jobs during construction and will employ more than 55 full-time during operations (see March 1 press release at http://www.energysource.us.com/). Further, if the efforts to extract minerals from the geothermal brine at this site are commercially successful, significant additional economic and employment benefits will result. The Hudson Ranch 1 Project is not alone. CalEnergy has plans to build a new power complex in California’s Imperial Valley, one of the state’s highest unemployment areas. This nearly $1 billion investment will boost the local economy. The project will take almost four years to build, during which time an average of 323 construction workers will be employed. When the project is completed it will offer 57 full time positions for operations, engineering, maintenance, and administration. Employment opportunities at this 235 MW geothermal plant compare favorably with either a gas or wind project, which CalEnergy notes would each require only about 18 full time employees for a project of similar size (see Why Support Geothermal Energy?, February 2012, available at: http://geo- energy.org/reports.aspx).
