Alaska Systems Coordinating Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alaska Systems Coordinating Council (ASCC) formed in 1983, and serves the two isolated interconnections within the State of Alaska. ASCC is one of nine regional electric reliability councils under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965.
The ASCC region covers the two grids in the Alaska Interconnection, one of which is in South Central Alaska and the other in the Alaska Panhandle. Neither of the small grids in ASCC has interties to any other interconnection.
