  • Add new capabilities to update state-level emissions and price factors using Cambium scenario data for alternate grid decarbonization scenarios.

    • Update associated scout files as necessary to handle new annual and hourly state factors

    • Update all scenarios to Cambium 2023

Updated commit includes:

  • New script to update the existing state-level baseline data file to a given year using EIA API queries.
  • Updates to converter.py and cambium_updater.py to ensure compatibility with new update routines.
  • Updated state-level emissions and prices files that use a 2022 state baseline data file (updated from 2020) and relevant AEO/Cambium scenarios for updates to retail prices and emissions, respectively.

  • I fixed all of the ecm_prep.py issues identified in this review.
  • Regarding the TSV load files, those are available here but were too large in file size to be included in this commit. I added commented code in ecm_prep.py that points to these new files (if they do, in fact, get added to the repo).
  • Regarding the update to Cambium 2023, I think these files were actually already updated to Cambium 2023 earlier this year, which is why when I updated them again there weren't changes. In any case, I re-ran the cambium_updater.py script to ensure they are updated to 2023 data.

Thanks @asatremeloy. One check is that the CA emissions shouldn't go to zero in 2045, as in 2022 data, but they still appear to (e.g., here).

Possible that you were still pulling 2022? Or if you could point us to the data you used in the cambium updater, so we can replicate, that would be really helpful (is it just the full Cambium data download?).
