The Alaska Interconnection (ASCC) is an alternating-current power transmission grid in North America serving central and southeast Alaska. Although it is often described as one interconnected grid, its two parts are not connected to each other or to any other interconnection, making the grids in Alaska isolated circuits. Both grids are managed by the Alaska Systems Coordinating Council as if they were a single entity, in the same way as the other interconnections in North America. The council was formed in 1983 and is an affiliate member of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.
