SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for its entire Balancing Authority effective Sunday, April 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CT until an anticipated end time of Monday, April 7 at 10:00 p.m. CT.  

 

• Resource Advisories do not require the public to conserve energy, but are issued to raise awareness of potential threats to reliability among entities responsible for operating transmission and generation facilities.

• This Resource Advisory is being declared due to forecasts of potential high peak loads, potential low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours, and possible increase in resource outages.

• Individuals should contact their local utility for details specific to their area.

• SPP 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.
