Increased drought in California could lead to electricity generation producing 8% of California’s electricity generation compared to 15% under normal rainfall conditions, the U.S. said. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Thursday.In its overarching view, the EIA expects that immersion in hydropower generation will lead to an 8% increase in natural gas generation, an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions related to energy by 6%, and an increase of about 5%. with wholesale electricity prices throughout the West, the media report said.

Earlier this month, California energy authorities released an accurate forecast of the state power grid, saying it did not have enough power to keep the lights on this summer and otherwise when heat waves, volcanic eruptions or other catastrophic events occur.
