Table Rock Dam, Bull Shoals Dam, and others, worked around the clock to provide extra power to the Southwestern Power Pool at a time of crucial need, in some cases generating more than capacity.
Over 91,000 Megawatt Hours were generated in 7 days, which is enough to power 8,500 homes for an entire year.
The Southwest Power Pool consists of 14 member states, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. When the Southwestern Power Pool has an emergency, as it did the past week and a half, it requests supplemental power.
