Resource Advisory
SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for the entire Balancing Authority effective 11:00 a.m. CT Thursday, September 19 until an anticipated end time of 9:00 p.m. CT Friday, September 20.
-
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 based on forecasts of potential high peak loads based on warm temperatures, potential increase in resource outages and potential low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours.
-
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.
