SPP, misO issue alerts ahead of high peakload, wintery weather

摘要

The Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent Independent Service Operator issued alerts Monday in response to weather forecasts that predicted record-low temperatures and higher-than- normal peakload, driving up power prices. SPP issued a resource alert for Monday evening through Wednesday “due to high forecasted load, uncertainty of outage return to service, and extreme cold weather” within the SPP footprint. The grid operator said it “may use greater unit commitment notification timeframes.”
