Southwest Power Pool monitors Oklahoma’s power grid as high temperatures increase electricity use
Southwest Power Pool is closely monitoring Oklahoma’s electric grid as high temperatures increase electricity demand across the state.
The increased demand is putting additional pressure on the grid and contributing to higher power prices, SPP said.
Despite the increased demand, officials said current conditions do not require Oklahomans to conserve electricity.
The regional grid operator said it will continue monitoring conditions as high temperatures continue across the state.
