Document Description
The purpose of this WA is to demonstrate how climate forecasts can be used to predict an important part of the climate variability that affects energy supply and demand, enabling more efficient management of hydropower and energy resources. This meets the PIER Goals of improving the energy cost/value of California's electricity system as well as improving the environmental cost/risk of California's electricity system. This also meets the PIER-EA mandate to conduct research and development activities that will advance science or technology not adequately addressed by the competitive and regulated markets that evaluate and resolve environmental effects of energy delivery in California and provide clearly identifiable benefits to California's ratepayers.
