California is the leading state for geothermal power production in the United States, and has historically been viewed worldwide as a leader in geothermal power development and technology. According to an employment survey conducted several years ago by the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA), the total number of jobs supported by the existing geothermal industry in 2004 was 11,460. Most of these were in California. This job estimate includes direct, indirect, and induced employment. Power plant or direct employment was estimated to be 4,583 full-time positions. This corresponds to 1.7 permanent jobs per megawatt (MW) of capacity installed. As the report notes, “Employment in the industry was probably at a historic low since power plant construction had been minimal between 1993 and 2004 as state and federal policies underwent significant changes. Also, because federal research support was at a historically low level, associated research employment is low”(see Geothermal Industry Employment Survey, September 2005, at http://geo-energy.org/reports.aspx). Since 2004, Congress has passed significant new tax incentives for geothermal development, and has funded a more significant DOE geothermal research program. As a result, there has been steady growth in the industry. However, and unfortunately, there has not been a new employment survey to capture the increased employment now provided by the industry. While NREL has developed the JEDI model to provide more sophisticated employment estimates for wind and solar projects, we understand that a contract with DOE to provide JEDI employment figures for geothermal energy was cancelled. The figure below from the GEA Industry Update shows the growth in US installed geothermal power capacity since 2005: Job Potential To the best of our knowledge, the US Department of Energy and the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) produced the most recent estimate of job growth potential for geothermal energy in 2006.
