Grid Notice: SPP is Issuing a Resource Advisory for the West Balancing Authority Area (Normal Operating Conditions) Effective Wed., April 8, at 12:00 a.m. CT
SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for the West Balancing Authority (BA) area, effective Wednesday, April 8, 12:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of Monday, April 13, at 12:00 a.m. CT. 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.
SPP’s East BA area remains under normal operating conditions. Find a map of SPP’s East and West BA areas here.
• This Resource Advisory in SPP’s West BA area is being declared due to load uncertainty, increased potential for low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours, and potential for resource outages. • 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.
