 I would hazard a guess that with the mild weather that one or more of the big coal plants are partly off line for maintenance and the hydro plants are picking up the extra load, especially during peaks.  Hydro is especially good at peak generation compared to coal, can be on line in a matter of a few minutes and off line just as quick, coal, nukes etc. Are much slower to bring on and off line.  SWPA.generation schedule is nothing more than a plan or best guess, they react to the need at the time.

Good thinking.  Very possible!
