SPP is Extending the Conservative Operations Advisory (Stable Operating Conditions) for the West BA Area Through 8/1 at 12 a.m. CT
Monitoring - SPP is extending the Conservative Operations Advisory for the West Balancing Authority Area (BAA) through an anticipated end time of Saturday, August 1, at 12 a.m. CT. Conservative Operations Advisories are considered stable 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.

• This Conservative Operations Advisory in SPP’s West BAA is being extended due to potential forecast uncertainty including higher than normal loads and outages, seasonally hot temperatures, and the potential for lower wind and solar. This means demand could potentially be higher than expected due to more people using electricity during peak hours. Supply could potentially be lower than normal due to forced outages. Forecasts indicate seasonally severe hot temperatures in some areas, which cause greater load, especially if they take place during peak hours. Wind and solar generation could potentially be lower than the expected forecast.
• 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 continue to use greater unit commitment notification timeframes, including making commitments before standard day-ahead market procedures and/or committing resources in reliability status.

SPP Declares Resource Advisory (Normal Operating Conditions) for East BAA Effective Sat., July 25, at 12 p.m. CT
Monitoring - SPP is declaring a Resource Advisory for the East Balancing Authority Area (BAA) effective Saturday, July 25, at 12 p.m. CT through an anticipated end time of 7 p.m. CT (same day). 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.
• This Resource Advisory in SPP’s East BAA is being declared due to potential forecast uncertainty, the potential for higher than normal loads and severe (seasonal) hot weather. This means demand could potentially be higher than expected due to more people using electricity during peak hours. Forecasts indicate seasonally severe hot temperatures in some areas, which cause greater load, especially if they take place during peak hours. Wind and solar generation could potentially be lower than the expected forecast.
