- Southwest_Power_Pool abstract "The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is the founding member of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). SPP's story began in the early days of WWII, when America was furiously ramping up production of weapons and military supplies. After entering the War, the USA had an immediate and crucial need to produce aluminum for aircraft manufacture. Alcoa and Reynolds Metals Company established themselves in Arkansas which had the largest commercially exploitable Bauxite deposit at that time. Additionally, in 1941, a government agency called Defense Plant Corporation opened a plant in Jones Mill, Arkansas with the intent of operating 24/7 to supply the war effort. The government leased the plant to Alcoa for operations. The Jones Mill Plant alone required 120,000KW of electrical power to operate and this exceeded the entire generation of the state (100,000KW PEAK excluding outages). Due to the war effort, there was not enough man power nor raw materials to build further electrical generation. Executives of power utilities in the Southwest decided to pool their generation resources together to ensure reliability and dependability for this region of the US during the wartime. The existence of Southwest Power Pool was out of necessity and scarcity. After the war, the Executives saw the expertise and efficiency that was created and decided to remain as a Power Pool.".
