Federal Hydropower

Federal Hydropower refers to the energy HL&P receives from the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP).

CRSP is a system of dams, reservoirs, and power plants managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in the western United States. It serves a crucial role in water resource management, providing water for irrigation, municipal use, and hydroelectric power generation. Federal hydropower, produced by the CRSP’s power plants, is highly valuable for its customers because it offers a reliable and sustainable source of clean energy. This power not only helps meet the electricity needs of communities and industries but also contributes to grid stability, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting environmental sustainability.
