Resource Advisory
SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for its entire Balancing Authority effective 11:00 a.m. CT – 8:00 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 14.
-
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.
-
The Resource Advisory is being declared for high peak loads due to potential low VER forecast during peak and planned resource outages.
-
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.
