The Platts North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Regions geospatial data layer contains regions representing the geographic extent of the eight Regional Reliability Councils. These eight councils are made up of members from all segments of the electric industry and are responsible for reliably planning and operating all the electricity supplied in the United States, Canada, and a portion of Mexico.
The Platts North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Regions geospatial data layer was created to display the geographic extent of the NERC regions.
