The Alaska Systems Coordinating Council (ASCC) formed in 1983, and serves the two isolated interconnections within the State of Alaska. The Alaska Systems Coordinating Council (ASCC) is an affiliate North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) member.
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.
Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or council:
“No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
