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

<strong>Mapping of districts to control zones of German Transmission System Operators (TSOs)</strong> 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. <strong>Licensing</strong> This dataset is created on top of a dataset of German political administrative boundaries at NUTS3 level covering Germany provided by geoBoundaries (DEU_ADM2.shp). geoBoundaries is an online, open license database of global political administrative boundaries (i.e., state, county). For further information, see https://www.geoboundaries.org/. For the processing, I am also using the dataset "Verwaltungsgebiete 1:2500000" (vg_12500.shp) provided by the "Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie".
