However, Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is still at Energy Emergency Level 2. We will extend our Peak Advisory for Liberty Electric customers to noon Friday, February 19. We’re following SPP guidance and doing our part to help our regional power grid, which remains strained. All of these efforts are to help avoid longer, uncontrolled service interruptions.
