Map of 3 U.S. Regional Electric Grids?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I've lost my link to the map of the three U.S. Regional Grids...East, West and ERCOT? (Texas.)

A search of the archives have yeilded lost o' maps, but not this one.

Could someone please oblige?

TIA

There is also a map of the NERC Regional Councils at:

Nom--

Thanks anyway, but I belive you're confusing the NERC regions with grid sections. My understanding is that there are 3 primary grid divisions. Does anyone have a map that shows 3 divisions (not the NERC regions?)

Ahh Nom--

I see it on the Yardeni site. The eastern, western and ERCOT divisions ARE labled...just hard to see because the map is busted up into NERC regions. There's a clearer map somewhere I know...

The EIA maps are the best, and has what you're looking for. There's more than one map embedded in the EIA document link above.
