Anew study suggests that hydropower generation across the continental United States is likely to increase with climate change, although certain regions may experience drier conditions and decreased production. The study, published on August 8 in Environmental Research Letters, shows that while warmer temperatures will bring more rain instead of snow in the Pacific Northwest, reducing winter snowpack, hydropower generation is still projected to rise in most areas. This shift will require water managers and grid operators to adjust how and when dams produce electricity.
