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. • 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 use greater unit commitment notification timeframes, including making commitments before standard day-ahead market procedures and/or committing resources in reliability status.
