SPP has issued a Resource Advisory for the East Balancing Authority (BA) area, effective Tuesday, April 28, from 10:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of 6:00 p.m. CT.
Resource Advisories are still considered normal operating conditions, and do not require the public to conserve energy or take any action, but are issued to raise awareness of potential threats to reliability among entities responsible for operating transmission and generation facilities.
SPP’s West BA area remains under normal operating conditions. Find a map of SPP’s East and West BA areas here.
- This Resource Advisory in SPP’s East BA area is being declared due to the potential for higher than normal loads and outages, and wind forecast uncertainty.
- Individuals should contact their local utility for details specific to their area.
- Generation and transmission operators have been provided instructions on applicable procedures, including reporting any limitations, fuel shortages or concerns.
- To mitigate risks to reliability associated with these factors, SPP may use greater unit commitment notification timeframes, including making commitments before standard day-ahead market procedures and/or committing resources in reliability status.
- SPP will send additional information if necessary.
