Yukon's Reservoir Levels - April Update

I've been skipping a bit of winter and haven't done an energy battery update in sometime - but this is the time we really draw down our stored renewable energy, and things get lean in the spring.  

Marsh Lake is looking quite low, about 2/3 of what we normally have at this time of year, but Mayo and Aishihik lakes are fuller than average; overall we aren't too far below how much water we normally have at this time of year.  Right now the overall energy stored is down to 33%, about 2% lower than average for this time of year.  Probably the warm February and March this year kept demand down even though we're a growing community. 

Let's hope for a quick, warm spring!
