@cmgosnell do you have any insight on this? Seems pretty weird.
I poked around at this for a bit and could not find any of these plants in the EIA spreadsheets. My best bet on this is that these plants were in EIA spreadsheets when we pulled the original list of plants for id mapping and have since been removed in revisions. Also, this feels like such a small number of plants that makes this feel like a low priority.
we didn't actually fix this but decided to close this due to the small number of plants and the fact that there aren't larger implications that we know of.
In the process of doing the EIA 923 data integration for 2018 (#420) and generating PUDL IDs for FERC/EIA (#428), I discovered that somehow there's 167 EIA plants which appear in the ID Mapping spreadsheet, but which are nowhere to be found in the
plants_entity_eia
table. Which seems wrong? Are these plants really no longer in the underlying EIA data/spreadsheets? Or are we somehow losing them / failing to harvest them from the data during ETL?If they're really no longer included in the data, we should probably remove them from the mapping process. And if they are still included in the data, then we need to figure out how we are losing them.
