In the BPA region, the Nov 19-25 average output was 8.8 GW, against last year's 7.5 GW.
In California, the output gap grew, averaging 2.26 GW vs 1.17 GW last year.
Between the two regions, electrical output was up 2.4 GW over last year, which represents a little over 4BCF (weekly total) in incremental natural gas replacement this year, if the increased hydro were strictly used to replace gas fired power.
