Obtain or generate historical geometries for FERC 714 Planning Areas #584

Closed zaneselvans closed 4 years ago

zaneselvans commented 4 years ago

The 2018 geometries for FERC 714 Planning Areas are available from HIFLD, but the geometries and associated respondents from previous years are different, so we need something more to do historical analysis...

Just FYI: about 88% of all the reported demand from FERC 714 is associated with one of the geometries in the 2018 HIFLD data. Going back in time, this eventually drops to about 58%. So there's a lot of additional information to be gained by cobbling together complete geometries, especially in prior years.
