Proposed update for PSR Transmission Capacity

I think I'd prefer the unit to be at the top level, it makes it much easier to ingest the data if all of it is coming with the same unit on each call.

in terms of readiblity I totally agree with you, but I was worried on how to manage it in PSRs that represent balancing areas where we can have varying magnitudes from nuclear power plants to local solar farms, for instance

Maybe we just default to MWh? Most solar farms would be on the order of magnitude of 1 MWh, and a nuclear plant would only be in the thousands then right?
