Maintaining electric grid reliability under hydrologic drought and heat wave conditions

•We introduce the concept of optimal rules specifying required thermal variances.•Rules are conditioned on leading modes of hydrological and meteorological variables.•Rules are developed with a linear optimization with stochastic costs.•Method aids cooperative decision making between environmental a...
