LCG, November 13, 2026--The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) today issued an "In-Brief Analysis" highlighting the record lows for hydropower generation in the Southwest this summer. The prolonged drought conditions affecting the Colorado River Basin caused record low hydropower generation this summer in the Southwestern electricity supply region, which includes Arizona, New Mexico, and small parts of Nevada and California. Hydropower generation from April through August 2026 was a full 28 percent lower than the 10-year average and 19 percent lower than during the same period last year.

UTC Receives Innovation Award for Geothermal Power Technology
LCG, June 20, 2008--UTC Power, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, received the National Energy Resources Organization's (NERO) annual Innovation Award for its PureCycle geothermal system, which uses low-temperature geothermal energy from hot water to generate electricity.
The PureCycle system is designed for relatively small temperature differentials and uses an organic Rankine cycle-based power system with refrigerant rather than steam to generate power in a closed system that has essentially no emissions.
Since 2006, the PureCycle geothermal system has operated using a 165 degree F geothermal source at Chena Hot Springs Resort in Alaska as a U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies demonstration project. The ability to utilize low temperature differentials expands the potential locations where geothermal energy may be exploited.
NERO is a non-partisan organization whose mission is to engage in dialogue on energy issues, recognize outstanding achievements, and promote public awareness.
