Southwest Power Pool says it’s no longer under an emergency alert for the utilities it covers in 14 states.
The 14 states in the central United States have seen intermittent, rolling blackouts this week as utilities face surging demand for energy during frigid, wintry weather. The states include both Arkansas and Missouri.
Southwest Power Pool officials say customers should still conserve energy until at least 10 p.m. Saturday but that rolling blackouts are not needed under current conditions.
