The figure illustrates the response of the Thai-Laotian power grid, built and operated in 2016, under the hydro-climatological conditions experienced in four selected years. The intensity of droughts across the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins is measured with the Streamflow Drought Index, or SDI (negative values correspond to dry conditions). The impact of hydro-climatic variability on the power system is quantified with the following variables: annual anomalies of available hydropower (in GWh) and derated capacity of freshwater-dependant thermoelectric plants (in MW).
