Spanish hydro stocks rise to 62.5% fullness
Available Spanish hydro stocks climbed by 1.6 percentage points in Week 8 to 11.188TWh (62.5% full) from 10.895TWh in Week 7, according to the latest data published by the Spanish environment ministry (see graph).
Stocks are now at their highest level since August last year, due to a combination of heavy rainfall and low demand for hydropower in January and February this year.
Reserves are more nearly six percentage points above the five-year average, which this week is 10.151TWh, or 56.7% full.
Hydro stocks are 19.8 percentage points higher than they were in the same week in 2008. CS
