SPP

SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for its entire SPP Balancing Authority (BA) effective Thursday, October 2, from 11:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of 7:00 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 high peak loads, wind forecast uncertainty leading into peak hours, and higher than normal planned outages (*planned outages are usually scheduled for routine maintenance ahead of the winter/summer season). * 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.
