A plasma display apparatus and a method of driving the same are disclosed. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel including scan electrodes and sustain electrodes, a sensor unit for detecting a temperature or a peripheral temperature of the panel, and a scan driver for supplying reset signals to the scan electrodes in a reset period of at least one subfield among a plurality of subfields at a predetermined reference temperature so that a first period in which a lowest voltage of the reset signal is supplied is different from a supply period of a lowest voltage when the temperature or the peripheral temperature of the PDP deviates the predetermined reference temperature.
