update EMBER electricity data to 2024 #497

Closed pweigmann closed 4 months ago

This data update doesn't require any change besides updating the source file. As last years data was already put in a folder "2024" even though it was from 2023, it will be moved to a folder 2023 and the new file will replace it.

To understand the changes which the data update brings (besides adding data for the year 2023), a validation report was created and is available here:

https://cloud.pik-potsdam.de/index.php/f/20716881

It shows the deviation of the 2024 EMBER release to the 2023 one, paints yellow deviations above 10%, and red above 25%.

There might be some relevant changes, also in older periods, especially for gas capacities. @RahelMA @robertpietzcker

Thanks for the heads-up. I think it looks good. For the EU, the new values are much closer to what the WEO reported in those days, so it is likely an improvement.
