Not true ... they use hydro as a backup for peak demand now. That was not the case 30 years ago. Today hyro generates less than 5% of all the demand. They do not get enough KW out of hydro (at least for the size of the Martin Dam) to use it as a primary source. So they use it to supplement the peak summer demands and controling water flow, etc.
