Yukon's Current Energy Levels

Inspired by the excellent energy usage charts now online at Yukon Energy's website (http://www.yukonenergy.ca/customer/residential/consumption/waf/), I wanted to create a graphic that showed how much energy we left in our "batteries" - that is how much water is left in our reservoirs for renewable energy production.   See below:


The percentages shown are based on the water level remaining in the Yukon's three main water storage lakes (Marsh, Mayo and Aishihik) from Water Survey of Canada's real-time data multiplied by the energy generated by that stored water.  So, this is a pretty accurate measure of how much total energy we have left in storage.
