  1. Purpose of Review  Changing hydroclimate creates risks to the western U.S. electric grid, particularly when hydropower generation changes, but tools to characterize these risks are relatively new. Here, we ask: how is hydropower changing in a warming climate, and what are the consequences of hydroclimate change for the grid? Current Findings  Climate projections of future hydropower generation are somewhat uncertain due to precipitation change uncertainties, but production is consistently expected to shift from summer towards winter, out of phase with changes in load. Interactions between hydrologic drought and hot temperatures are particularly problematic, yielding increased prices and greenhouse gas emissions, with uncertain shortfall risks.
