In the article it says energy for 70k households. Not saying you are wrong but that is substantial.

It could power 70k homes at full capacity. Important note, it wasn't at full capacity, and the entire county of Siskiyou is only about 40k people (not homes).

Our power company, Pacific Power, said they didn't need the dam at all, and it would cost more power to maintain than it was worth.
