Request for Information on the US Power Grid

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Electric Utilities and Y2K : One Thread

First-time poster. I'm trying to find information, a "map" if you will, of the US power grid. I've read that the country has several major grids (Pacific, Midwest, Northeast/Canada, etc.) that buy and sell power between each other on a supply and demand basis. Are the US grids divided geographically? If anyone can provide info or links so that I can begin to educate myself on this subject I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Mike - here's an earlier message on the same topic - just click on the hotlink. There's three maps listed in this message; there's probably more maps available.
