BC Hydro sees power output fall in April-June period

摘要

BC hydro suffered a 19% fall in hydro power generation over April-June compared to the same three month period last year, but storage levels were higher than average by the end of the quarter.rnThe British Columbian utility said the decrease in output was due to lower water inflows and unplannedrnequipment outages at two major units in April. The outages were suffered by one generating unit at the GM Shrum plant in the Peace river region, and a unit at Mica Dam on the Columbia.rnHowever, it noted that the fiscal first quarter to 30 June ended with reservoir storage levels slightly up on averagerndue to higher inflows in the last month.
