Overview: The outlook this year for California's hydro generation is fair to good. The ability to draw down reservoirs this summer after an average year (2003) is likely to provide enough fuel to sustain hydro energy production at 85 percent of average. At the same time, the effect of one dry year on the summer peak for dependable hydro capacity is much less dramatic than it is on energy generation. Capacity to generate power is most variable at large storage reservoirs. This document reviews the state of California Hydroelectric.
