Otmane El Rhazi : California grid expected to maintain reliability despite drought

Otmane El Rhazi from Today in Energy.

According to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the bulk power system in California is not expected to lose grid reliability this summer, despite a drought that has lowered hydroelectric generation. Overall, NERC expects more than 72 gigawatts (GW) of electric generating capacity to be available this summer in the part of the electric grid covering much of California.
