SPP publishes report on April 26, 2025 load-shed event

SPP published its comprehensive report on the April 26 load-shed event in Northwest Louisiana that analyzes the event, identifies the main causes that led to the need to shed load, examines how SPP responded during and after the event, and provides actionable recommendations and improvements to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

“We recognize the impact the April 26 power outages had on communities in Northwest Louisiana. Our detailed analysis has identified specific areas for improvement, and we are actively working with the affected utilities to address those areas. We remain firmly committed to supporting our member companies in keeping communities reliably powered," said SPP President and CEO Lanny Nickell.

The April 26 Load Shed Report is available on SPP.org now.
