Water Use & Management
Balancing Consumption, Reporting, and Conservation
Water is vital for electricity production and various processes, notably equipment cooling. While the majority of our power generation relies on water, we aim to minimize consumption. Most water is returned to its source, with less than 3% lost to evaporation from cooling and flue gas scrubbing. We expect reduced water use with the addition of water-independent wind and solar assets, coupled with the retirement of fossil fuel generation.
