Genscape: Early snowmelt, low winds reduce renewable power output
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 10 () -- Early snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest was responsible for a decline in electricity generated from hydropower, energy reporting company Genscape said.Genscape said the amount of electricity generated from renewable energy resources for August was 1,[url=http://www.christianelouboutinoutlet.com]Louboutin Outlet[/url],174 gigawatt hours,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinsales.com]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url], the lowest level since October and 4 percent lower year-on-year.For the Pacific Northwest, it said hydro generation was down because of higher than average temperatures, which lead to early snowmelt in the region."Genscape's monitored hydro generation [in the region] was down 24 percent month-over-month and 26 percent year-over-year," it said Monday.Weaker winds in the region were responsible for a 15 percent decrease in the amount of energy generated from wind. Northern parts of the country with a steady wind regime witnessed minor gains in wind power, Genscape said.The company said demand for electricity was 4 percent lower than last year because of cool summer temperatures across the Midwest and East Coast relative to last year."Year-to-date power demand is now 1 percent lower than 2012," the company said.
