Energy Market Update on the Pacific Northwest Water Supply

Posted by

Throughout the winter and spring, we closely track the water supply in the Northwest and California due to its effect on hydroelectric output and the profound impact that it has on power prices over the spring and summer flows.  When referring to the water supply, we typically measure it in precipitation over a period of time, snowpack in a particular watershed and the subsequent run-off of the melting snow in that area.  The amount of hydroelectric power generated by the seasonal run-off can greatly influence wholesale power prices in the region.  The region depends on this cheap source of power to displace fossil fuel generated electricity and keep prices lower.  Below average run-off in the spring and summer typically results in the need for more expensive fossil fuel plants, such as natural gas, to generate electricity to make-up for the lack of hydroelectric power.…
