Business Model
Hetchy Supplies
380 MW
The Hetchy system is expensive to maintain at full capacity. It is
aging; has limited operating flexibility due to prioritizing water
customer needs above power needs; demands funding from Power
165 MW
that increases costs above alternatives; and results in a poorly
Power’s share of Mountain Tunnel costs makes Moccasin supplies
uncompetitive with renewable and non-renewable alternatives.
