Facts & Figures

California’s Hydroelectric Generation Affected by Drought

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), "Today in Energy," July 7, 2021. Data from EIA, based on U.S. Drought Monitor. Low water supply can affect hydroelectric generation. California’s previous drought, which lasted from 2012 to 2016, led to significant declines in hydroelectric generation and the state’s first-ever mandatory water restrictions in 2015. As drought conditions eased, hydropower conditions improved. As a result of this year’s harsh drought conditions, EIA expects hydroelectric generation in California to be lower in 2021 than it has been in recent years.
