2017 Gaps in Energy Workforce Survey Results For CEWD Members and Survey Respondents Only Not for Distribution Gaps in the Energy Workforce Survey Survey conducted every other year since 2007 The number of companies participating in
- Survey conducted every other year since 2007
- The number of companies participating in the surveys has
varied over the years. In 2017 we had:
- 56 Electric and Natural Gas Utilities / Energy Companies (which
includes 23 nuclear utilities and 17 public power utilities)
- All Electric Cooperatives
- 1 Nuclear Supplier
- This is the first time the American Public Power Association
has participated in the survey as a group
- The number of employees represented by the participating
companies has increased and represents over 75% of Investor-owned Utilities, 100% of electric rural cooperatives (Total combined population of 505,000) and 25% of public power utilities (Total population of 93,000)
Gaps in the Energy Workforce Survey
- Rev. 2
- The data from the survey are the sole source of
comprehensive numbers on the current and future state of the electric and gas utility industry workforce.
- The survey results provide a national, regional and state view
- f the workforce and the demand for future employees.
- The results are used by federal and state government
agencies as input into workforce training and development programs.
- State-wide energy consortia use the data to determine what
type and how many pipeline programs will be needed to meet the demand for a new workforce
- Individual companies can benchmark their own workforce
planning efforts against the national and regional numbers
Gaps in the Energy Workforce Survey Purpose and Use
- Rev. 2
- Data represent year end 2016 results.
- Data are collected for four key job categories (lineworkers,
power plant operators, technicians and engineers)
- Data include hires and attrition (retirement and non-
retirement), age and years of service, status of pipeline programs and veteran hiring
- Data were collected for the first time to provide an insight on
retention of new hires and to provide a deeper look into differences between coal and gas power plant operator demand.
