utilities_ferc1¶
This table maps the manually assigned PUDL utility ID to a FERC respondent ID, enabling a connection between the FERC and EIA data sets. It also stores the utility name associated with the FERC respondent ID. Those values originate in the f1_respondent_id table in FERC's FoxPro database, which is stored in a file called F1_1.DBF.
