Fixing Errors in GB Hydropower Capacity of ~5GW
Change proposed in this Pull Request
There appear to be some inconsistencies between the data underlying ppl and other datasets of powerplants in GB.
This datasheet gives an interesting example of this, and also shows how widespread the errors seem to be. It hints towards typos that could have set some capacities to 999 MW.
By manually checking the most problematic cases of this in Google Maps, I propose manual changes to ppl that accumulate to a reduction of ~5GW of hydropower capacity in Scotland and Wales.
I somewhat randomly added the value "ENTSOE" to the Source column, which appears to play a role in merging manual_corrections.csv. Please let me know if this needs adjustment.
