Utility service territory
A utility service territory is the geographic area in which a particular utility has the right, and often the obligation, to provide service, typically assigned by state regulators. It determines which electric, gas or water provider a site must work with. Territory boundaries, especially between co-ops, municipal utilities and investor-owned utilities, can sit close to a site and change its power options.
