Press Conference: Low Snowpack Means Smaller Power Supply 3/4/2010
The mild winter the Pacific Northwest is now experiencing thanks to the El Nino weather pattern will have consequences for Seattle City Light and its customers throughout 2010. City Light depends on snowpack to provide the water that powers the hydroelectric dams that produce its low-cost electricity. Snowpack effectively serves as a "battery," storing some of the dams` power source for use in the summer and fall. A warmer- and dryer-than-normal winter means less snow and a smaller supply of electricity throughout the year. City Councilmember Bruce Harrell and City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco discuss the issues.
