Yukon Energy is running one of its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) generators around the clock, to help compensate for reduced power production at the Mayo B dam. Low water in Mayo Lake is hampering the dam's ability to produce its normal 10 megawatts of electricity, according to Janet Patterson, manager of communications for Yukon Energy. 'We don't have the water that we normally have at this time of year, to use for generation,' said Janet Patterson of Yukon Energy. Yukon Energy also draws power from its Aishihik dam. Patterson says Yukon Energy is not currently using any diesel generators, but may have to if temperatures drop and consumption goes up significantly.
