    Wind served more of our load in 2020 than any other fuel source. We're the first U.S. RTO to have #wind as our main fuel source. We're able to do this thanks to years of transmission building and a diverse mix of generation resources to ensure reliability in our footprint.

    Why has the SPP region been so affected by the current cold-weather event? This map shows overlap between the coldest temperatures in the nation and SPP’s 14-state balancing authority area.
