CRESTA Release 2026

In its 2026 release, CRESTA has updated all 4,863 low-resolution and 247,203 high-resolution CRESTA Zones for the 140 countries covered by the organisation, following consultation with the industry. The CRESTA 2026 release aims for stability in the zoning approach from the last update in 2019 but reflects changes to administrative units worldwide. The update also introduces new zoning for Paraguay, Uruguay and Tunisia (low- and high-resolution) as well as high-resolution in the Philippines. These data sets were previously not available under the zoning scheme and therefore fill a significant data gap.
