Ky PSC Electric Service Areas WM

This is a coverage of the service areas of electric suppliers in the state of Kentucky. The polygon attribute table identifies the service territories; the arc attribute table gives the regulatory classification of boundary segments. The establishment of geographical service areas for retail electric suppliers, the rights of utilities operating within their own territories, and the requirement of map submission to the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) are provided for in Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) sections 278.016 to 278.020. The certified territory maps are the legal documents that define the retail electric service area of electric suppliers regulated by the Commission (Kentucky Statute 278.017). All of these maps are on file at the PSC. They have been scanned and are available as PDF documents. Most of them are USGS topographic maps from the 1980s signed by both utilities and stamped by the Public Service Commission. These were used to compile this coverage. The positions of service area boundaries on this coverage are estimated to be accurate within 100 feet. These digital boundaries are for informational purposes only, and have no legal standing.
