Looks like SPP is back at a "conservative status" rather than emergency status now, which is good.

At a press conference, a spokesperson said they had to cut 6.5% of load for 3h21m on Tuesday.

SPP went back to Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) Level 1 not long after 6 pm, just like they did 5 minutes earlier to Level 2 yesterday, Wednesday the 17th: https://spp.org/markets-operations/current-grid-conditions/

I'm also in it, and have heard many reports of rolling blackouts earlier this week when it was at Level 3.
