SPP is declaring a Resource Advisory for the East Balancing Authority Area (BAA) effective Sunday, August 2, from 12 p.m. CT through an anticipated end time of 8 p.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. • This Resource Advisory in SPP’s East BAA is being declared due to forecasts of potential high peak loads, potential low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours, and possible increase in resource outages. • 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
