Some electric utility customers are experiencing rolling outages as a result. Otter Tail Power Company, serving approximately 70,000 square miles in parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, is still producing and delivering energy to its more than 130,000 customers.<\/p>\n<p>Otter Tail Power Company is a member of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) regional transmission organization. This is an independent not-for-profit organization that ensures safe, cost-effective power across 15 U.S. states and the Canadian province of Manitoba. MISO is not requesting planned rolling outages from its member utilities at this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) regional transmission organization, which serves in a similar capacity for 17 U.S. states, has ordered rolling outages for its member utilities in an effort to not exceed what current energy generation and transmission can supply.<\/p>\n<p>MISO and SPP overlap in much of Otter Tail Power Company&#8217;s service area, especially throughout North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as western Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage you to be prepared in case of an emergency, and we\u2019ll be sure to provide updates as soon as we can if the situation changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fergus Falls, MN\u00a0 (OTPC)\u00a0 Ongoing cold temperatures in our region and throughout the nation are causing high demand for electricity.
