EIA Analysis of Southwest Hydropower Generation Shows Record Lows and Slow Recovery

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.

New York Awards Solar PV Grants to 76 Projects for 2013

LCG, April 2, 2013--The Governor of New York announced Thursday that $46 million has been awarded under his NY-Sun initiative for large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) energy projects, which will add 52 MW to New York's solar capacity.

The awards are the first of three rounds of the Competitive PV solicitation, an element of New York?s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program. Second round proposals have been received, and proposals for the third round are due August 29, 2013.

This first round of awards are to 28 recipients to finance 76 large-scale solar energy projects across the state that will be located at businesses, factories, municipal buildings and other larger commercial and industrial companies, with the intention that the power generated is used on-site, although surplus power may be delivered to the grid for a credit.

The projects are scheduled to commence operations by year-end. The $46 million grants from New York State will be supplemented by $100 million in private investment.

The NY-Sun Competitive PV Program provides incentives for PV systems larger than 50 kW and is administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Funding per project is capped at $3 million, and all projects require co-funding.

Last year, the combined efforts of NYSERDA, New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) led to the installation of more than 58 MW of PV in the New York. Now, with the planned addition of 52 MW this year, a total of 242 MW of PV has been installed or is under development as part of NY-Sun.
