Hydropower is one of the most available and sustainable energy sources in the nation, and uses water from rivers and streams. Additionally, it is one of the most cost-effective energy sources.
Yuba Water Agency owns and operates three separate powerhouses on the Yuba River: New Colgate Powerhouse, Narrows 2 Powerhouse, and the New Bullards Bar minimum instream flow powerhouse.
One of Yuba Water Agency’s primary functions and a tremendous benefit is its generation of clean, renewable hydropower. These operations provide a source of renewable electricity.
