Create FERC Form 1 entity tables #196

Closed cmgosnell closed 5 years ago

cmgosnell commented 5 years ago

Currently the plants_ferc and utilities_ferc (which have foreign key relationships with the ferc1 data tables), are generated through the pudl_id mapping excel sheet. Once ferc plants have their own id's, they need to be stored in entity tables and the eia/ferc glue ingest needs to be untangled from this dependency.

unfortunately, we've learned that the plant ids are really only useful in the steam table... so this is no longer really necessary.
