Electric Utilites and Y2K web site. accsyst.com "The premise of this website is exceedingly simple. In the days and weeks following January 1, 2000, the electrical supply infrastructure upon which we depend to provide power to every home and business may no longer be able to do so - all because of a seemingly insignificant computer programming oversight. Indeed, it's possible that such service interruptions could occur even before the century change, now little more than two years distant." I've endeavored to reach two audiences and accomplish the following: Provide a resource for electric utility personnel who are currently engaged in addressing the Year 2000 (Y2K) computer and embedded controls problem. Areas of business vulnerability, opportunity, and system risks are explored, as are strategies for avoiding these risks. Educate electricity consumers, both business and residential, about the issues surrounding the Y2K problem relative to the electric utility industry. You need to understand that this problem and possible effects are real. You need to consider the potentially significant business and personal risks of losing your electrical power for an undetermined period of time."
