Update US-SW-PNM Coal Capacity #4614
Conversation
Update US-SW-PNM coal capacity based on San Juan Generation Station closure.
One less coal plant in the world, nice! 🎉 Everything looks good here but it would be good if you could add a source to the DATA_SOURCES.md, it can be a news article or a link to this PR. I'll approve and merge this as soon as you confirm it's closed down after that. |

LGTM! 🎉
@VIKTORVAV99 how long does it take for EM's ML models to update after capacity changes? If you review the estimated generation mix for this zone compared to actual delayed backfill, it appears coal generation estimates are inaccurate based on capacity data. |
I actually have no idea about that as I don't have any access to that data due to not working for Electricity Maps. But perhaps you can shed some light about it @pierresegonne? |
What you see is not influenced by installed capacity. https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/wiki/Time-Slicer-Average Explains how we compute these estimates. This explains that the estimations overestimate coal production if historically, coal capacity was higher. |
Thanks @pierresegonne! Appreciate the context. |
Intent: Update US-SW-PNM coal capacity based on San Juan Generation Station closure.
