In the Offshore Wind scenario, the average wind employment is 600 jobs below the Step Change scenario. There is no offshore wind projected for NSW until the late 2040s, and onshore wind is displaced by offshore wind elsewhere. By 2050 NSW onshore wind capacity is 4.6 GW lower than in the Step Change scenario, with only 1.1 GW of offshore wind has been installed. Employment is greatest in the Hydrogen Superpower scenario with an average of 7,700 jobs. Employment is volatile, with peaks in 2023, 2027/28, and 2031/32. A peak in repowering jobs occurs in 2043 and 2048. Average employment in the Slow Change is only 3,200 jobs with marginal growth until 2045.
