Section 2 of Green Jobs Through Geothermal Energy, October 2010, available at: http://geo- energy.org/reports.aspx. California Leads the Industry California hosts some of the leading US and worldwide geothermal companies representing the full spectrum of employment possibilities in geothermal-related activities. Much of this employment is provided by the principal power producers and project developers including CalEnergy, Calpine, Energy Source, Ormat and Terra-gen Power. But beyond these project operators, other employers in the state providing various types of supporting services include in , which also include ThermaSource, Atlas Copco, Baker Hughes, GeothermEx, Worley Parsons, SAIC, Geothermal Resource Group, and Stoel Rives. Supporting Policies Despite somewhat limited funding, for many years the state of California has provided one of the most consistent sources of support for the geothermal industry through the Geothermal Resource Development Account. GRDA is funded through federal royalty receipts, and has been an important contributor to policy continuity. More recently, the state has also supported efforts of the California Geothermal Energy Collaborative to support expanded use of the state’s underutilized geothermal resources. In addition, the state’s overall renewable energy policies (including the Renewable Portfolio Standard and the enactment of AB32) have created a climate generally favoring renewable technologies, although these policies have been more helpful to other renewable technologies than they are to geothermal. Also, the state’s geothermal community has had support from the DOE national laboratories and important University programs at Stanford, Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Riverside, and other institutions. Together, state and federal policies need to support the fundamental conditions for a progressive market – sustained industry growth together with sustained technology innovation and advancement. Educational and Workforce Needs As geothermal energy production and use become more prominently recognized in today’s renewable energy landscape, academic institutions are taking note. The recent dramatic increase in geothermal development in the United States has resulted in a shortage of trained industry professionals – especially higher-level geothermal power plant managers, geologists, resource analysts, permitting staff, drillers, engineers, and geothermal heat pump installers. As the industry grows, so too does the need for geothermal education and training. A number of colleges and universities across the country are emerging with undergraduate, graduate, and certification programs related to geothermal. Supporting education programs are needed across the educational spectrum, from graduate level university programs to community college and company training programs. GEA recently published a US Geothermal Education and Training Guide, which is available at: http://geo-energy.org/reports.aspx. 6PDF Image | Geothermal Energy Association
