2022 PC1-1 High Hydro Sensitivity • Central Question: How does production cost, generation dispatch, and transmission utilization change under low hydro conditions? • Change to starting input assumptions: • Loads – none • Transmission System – None • Generation – 2011 hydro data substituted for median hydro data (2005) • Results follow…
