Mapping of districts to control zones of German Transmission System Operators (TSOs)

Mapping of districts to control zones of German Transmission System Operators (TSOs)

This dataset provides a mapping of districts in Germany at NUTS3 level to control zones that are maintained by four transmission system operators (50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT, TransnetBW). A visualisation of the mapping is provided it GER_NUTS3_TSOs.png.

I can provide no guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of the provided information. In case the control zones of the TSOs change, or an error is detected, I do not assume liability for the error. The output file(s) can also be re-generated with the provided python script (GER_NUTS3_TSOs.py), and manipulated if necessary. In case you detect an error, please reach out to me so we can correct it in order to provide as accurate information as possible.
