Andean hydro drought tightens regional power.

// The hypothesis

A dry season drains reservoirs across the Andes, eroding the hydropower that supplies most of the region's electricity.

5 Andean grids · hydro power + rationing

// Modelled impact

Ecuador, Colombia and Peru turn to costly thermal generation and rationing; Bolivia and Chile import power at high prices.
