Severe drought and record-low reservoir levels in the US West and Canada are reducing hydropower generation capacity, threatening regional energy reliability and forcing a rethink of clean energy plans reliant on hydropower exports.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for shrinking hydropower output and step up investment in battery storage and alternative clean energy sources to keep power grids stable. Hydropower’s reliability is no longer guaranteed, and your supply chains will feel the disruption this year.
