Hydropower


Yuba Water Agency is at the forefront of sustainable energy production in Northern California, harnessing the power of hydropower to provide crucial electric grid stabilization. As a clean and renewable energy source, hydropower not only promotes environmental sustainability but also offers cost-effective solutions for meeting energy demands. Yuba Water Agency owns and operates three distinct powerhouses along the Yuba River, including the New Colgate Powerhouse, Narrows 2 Powerhouse, and the New Bullards Bar minimum instream flow powerhouse, which collectively contribute to the generation of clean, renewable electricity.

With a commitment to transparency and public engagement, Yuba Water Agency provides comprehensive information about the relicensing processes for its hydropower facilities, such as the Narrows Relicensing and the Yuba River Development Project Relicensing. These initiatives underscore our dedication to responsible energy management and sustainable practices, ensuring that our operations not only meet the needs of today but also safeguard the energy future of tomorrow. Through our hydropower endeavors, Yuba Water Agency continues to exemplify leadership in clean energy innovation, driving progress toward a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
