Generation Schedule

Just wanted to write a post and clarify the recent published generation schedules on the Hi. Everyone has heard about the generator being down for maintenance. The question people are having is "Why are they still showing a 2 generator release on the schedule?" The answer is simple...we don't know. They only have 2, so if 1 is down, simple math tells you that they can only run 1, right? And we have been assured by TVA employees that indeed, 1 generator is down, and will be down until sometime in May.
They are showing flows in the 1700 cfs range. This is well below a normal 2 generator flow. So maybe it's 1 generator wide open, maybe including spillage, or maybe accounting for the natural flows from the tribs. Who knows? Anyway, it is not a 2 generator flow.
The reason I'm posting this is because that some people have called the shop and said that they would love to have fished the Hi on that day, but they weren't going to attempt to wade with 2 generators on. It's misleading to people who aren't familiar with the generation schedules, and understandably so. After all, it says that they are running 2 right there on their site.
The moral of the story is that you can still wade and fish on 1,700 cfs. Also, they can't be running 2 generators right now. So get out and enjoy the fishing on the Hi. It is red hot right now. See ya there!
