In the next hour, we'll get updates from @evergypower and @SPPorg regarding the state of the power grid #energy #power #kcwx #winterstorm
. @evergypower presser streaming here: https://www.facebook.com/kshbtv/videos/1836448383180876 @41actionnews
Evergy says less than 5,000 customers out of power currently. Very few of those are related to the rolling outages. I'm switching over to the SPP presser now #energy #poweroutages
. @SPPorg emphasizing how unprecedented this weather event is. Some of the warnings they had to resort to have never been issued before #kcwx #poweroutage @41actionnews
. @SPPorg says they began prepping for this event more than a week ago. “Despite these efforts, the severe weather began to hamper our ability to balance the supply with the demand” #poweroutages @41actionnews
COO Lanny Nickell- "We held off as long as we possibly could to make the call to interrupt service." Says it was needed to prevent longer, uncontrolled outages #kcwx #poweroutages #evergy #southwestpowerpool
Nickell: "It is possible we could be back in this same situation later tonight." Fuel supply a concern, as is wind production not picking up @41actionnews #poweroutage
SPP says it has imported energy from neighbors to offset supply issues #poweroutages #energy @41actionnews
. @SPPorg says either tonight or tomorrow they may have to call for rolling outages again. Lots of moving parts/factors here, so hard to predict @41actionnews #poweroutages #evergy #southwestpowerpool
