[Data Issue]: FI outdated wind and solar capacity

[msaynevirta]

When did this happen?

Since generation capacity parsers were implemented.

What zones are affected?

FI

What is the problem?

ENTSO-E solar and wind capacity data is out of date for Finland. TSO Fingrid's API provides more up to date data for these:

• https://data.fingrid.fi/en/datasets/267
• https://data.fingrid.fi/en/datasets/268

@mathilde-daugy how do we want to handle cases like this? Can we update the capacities monthly or will that inflate the config files to unmanageable levels?

In this case I'd even want a live (separate) parser for it but we don't support that yet.

We can't update the capacities every month or it will create a monster. The idea is to update capacities at most every quarter because it also takes some time.

You are welcome to build a specific parser that combines Fingrid data and ENTSOe data :)

I checked this with Fingrid. According to the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform's guidelines, only individual power plant capacities over 1 MW is to be reported there. For solar power, this is industrial scale, which is still really small in Finland, but it is accelerating! Most solar power in Finland (currently ~991 MW of ~1018 MW) is ”roof top” <1MW.

This is very valuable, thank you :)
