Markets+ participants have recently collaborated to release a series of Issue Alerts, offering insights on key governance and market design differences between Markets+ and EDAM. These alerts play a vital role in addressing key points in the ongoing discussion about the benefits Markets+ can bring to the western energy market and its preference as a market choice for those in the west.

Our world is becoming increasingly electrified and demand is rapidly rising across the US, including demand within SPP’s footprint that could grow by up to 25% by 2030. To meet the supply and demand challenge, we must keep pace with the growing demand by building more transmission and generation. By working together, we can create stronger reliability across the grid. Read more about one of the greatest challenges of our generation at spp.org/OurChallenge.

Due to improved system conditions across the SPP Balancing Authority, SPP is ending the Energy Emergency Alert (EEA1), but remains under a Conservative Operations Advisory until an anticipated end time of 8:00 p.m. CT Tuesday, August 27. Conservative Operations Advisories do not require the public to conserve energy. We continue under the Conservative Operations Advisory based on forecasts of potential high peak loads due to widespread high temperatures, potential increase in resource outages and potential low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours.

SPP is issuing an Energy Emergency Alert Level 1 (EEA1) for the entire SPP Balancing Authority, effective until further notice. The declaration of an EEA1 does not require the public to conserve energy and does not indicate that SPP will be directing controlled service outages. Instead, an EEA1 is an indication that while SPP has enough generation available to meet demand and fulfill its reserve obligations, conditions exist that could put reserves at risk if they worsen. Individuals should contact their local utility for details specific to their area. The EEA1 is being declared based on forecasts of high peak loads due to widespread high temperatures, an increase in resource outages and low output from wind and other variable energy resources (*also known as low VER forecast) leading into peak hours.

From winter storms to heatwaves, extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, causing greater energy consumption during times of urgent need and wreaking havoc on our energy grid. Unfortunately, all generation types struggle to perform during extreme weather when demand is highest and human health and safety are at greatest risk. By working together, we can create stronger reliability across the grid. Read more about one of the greatest challenges of our generation at spp.org/OurChallenge.
