There's no concern with BC Hydro being able to continue to deliver power through the drought, says a new report.
BC Hydro is adjusting its operating plans around power generation as extended heat and little forecast rain continue to impact the province, a report released Oct. 13 says.
Still, it said, with no meaningful precipitation in the forecast, its smaller facilities in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island will continue to see record low or near record low inflows for this time of the year. It noted symptoms of climate change include increased frequency of extreme events like drought and intense storms, and rapid glacial melt.
Scott said BC Hydro’s reservoirs play an important role in managing these difficult conditions by using storage and planning releases to provide protection to downstream river flows. The reservoirs are, in effect, a battery waiting to be used for power.
