“…This is because energy storage needs to be coupled with something that produces electricity, so to appropriately compare with oil shale and nuclear plants (which produce their own electricity), the additional wind turbines needed to produce the same amount of electricity were also included. For the pumped hydro storage, a ratio of 0.25 jobs/MW was calculated based on the number of people employed in operations and management at hydropower plants in the United States [137]. For the 1300 MW of hydro storage in our comparison scenario, this equates to about 330 jobs.…”

To meet targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, many countries, including Estonia, must transition to low-emission electricity sources. Based on current circumstances, the most likely options in Estonia are renewables with energy storage, oil shale power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS), or the combination of renewables and either oil shale or nuclear power plants. Here we compare these different scenarios to help determine which would be the most promising based on current information. For the comparison we performed simulations to assess how various systems meet the electricity demand in Estonia and at what cost.Based on our simulation results and literature data, combining wind turbines with thermal power plants would provide grid stability at a more affordable cost. Using nuclear power to compliment wind turbines would lead to an overall levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) in the range of 68 to 150 EUR/MWh (median of 103 EUR/MWh). Using oil shale power plants with CCS would give a cost between 91 and 163 EUR/MWh (median of 118 EUR/MWh). By comparison, using only renewables and energy storage would have an LCOE of 106 to 241 EUR/MWh (median of 153 EUR/MWh).

“…The estimated number of direct jobs created is shown in Table 2. The estimates are based on information in the literature [120,[134][135][136][137][138]. For the electricity storage system, we also included the jobs created by the additional 1655 MW of wind turbines that would be needed to provide electricity for the storage system.…”
