How Parker Dam Unit Energy Is Reported
The hourly table separates Parker units P1 through P4. This shows which portions of the day carry generation before the source values are summarized as a daily plant total.
Parker releases, unit schedules, and energy can differ because not every unit operates at the same output and some water movement may not produce energy.
One megawatt-hour is the energy produced by one megawatt of output for one hour. Recorded values and forecasts are labeled separately because schedules and plant conditions can change.
Data Sources and Update Schedule
Hourly Parker Dam generating-unit energy and daily plant totals come from separate Bureau of Reclamation series. The server-rendered table chooses today's published schedule when available; otherwise it identifies the exact latest available date.
