Error in balancing heating_households group in IP2024 scenario's on beta #1430

When changing an input of the heating_households group in the ETM, an error occurs in balancing: group sums to 100.1. This error occurs only on beta (not pro) in at least the following scenarios:

IP2024 2030 Climate ambition
IP2024 2030 International ambition
IP2024 2030 National drivers

The error does not occur in II3050 v2 scenarios or in a blanco NL 2050 scenario.

Nice catch, we had this one before. It's possible for some regions to set households_heater_crude_oil_share through the API, but not via the interface. ETModel does not know about this input and balances to 100% without it, sending the results to the engine, who sees the crude oil share set to 0.1 already and starts to complain.

Best thing to do is to alter the scenario, removing the crude oil share as it should not have been there in the first place.
