Projections of resources and peak demands submitted by the member systems of the North American Electric Reliability Council indicated that electric generation and transmission systems would be adequate for the 1983-1984 winter, and the interconnected networks could be operated to prevent widespread cascading outages. It was also established that these networks would also be able to deliver power and energy to generation-deficient areas, should emergencies arise. Portions of the networks operate at or near their maximum reliable loading levels in order to transfer large amounts of lower-cost energy between systems and reduce energy costs for customers. 1 figure, 5 tables.
