1

Right now we have hard-coded an assumption that the EIA-860m data will always include data from the 1 year following the data which is available from the EIA-860. However there...

Our current `heat_rate_by_unit()` calculation only works for generation units with a `unit_id_pudl` which excludes many combined cycle generators, and much of the older data. * [x] Assign `unit_id_pudl` values to...
