Find the organisations that coordinate electricity networks, keep supply and demand in balance, and run power markets around the world.
A transmission system operator manages the high-voltage system. A distribution utility serves local networks. A power exchange runs trading; a regional power pool supports cooperation and cross-border trade. Roles can overlap, so every link is labelled. This directory is a starting point, not a complete register of licences or current grid conditions.
