6.5.6 employment in geothermal power
6.5.7 employment in wave and tidal power
In the Energy [R]evolution scenario, geothermal power would provide around 2% of total electricity generation by 2030, and would employ approximately 14,000 people. Growth is much more modest in the Reference scenario, with geothermal power providing less than 1% of generation, and employing approximately 700 people.
In the Energy [R]evolution scenario, wave and tidal power would provide up to 2% of total electricity generation by 2030, and would employ approximately 6,000 people. Growth is much more modest in the Reference scenario, with wave and tidal power providing less than 1% of generation, and employing approximately 4,000 people.
