SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for its entire Balancing Authority effective Thursday, February 13, 2025, from 12:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of 12:00 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 forecasted extreme cold temperatures, and the potential for higher than normal demand for electricity and resource outage 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.

 

This Resource Advisory is in addition to the previously declared Weather Advisory, which will be effective Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of Thursday, February 13, at 12:00 p.m. CT.
