respondent_id_ferc714, datetime_utc

Usage Warnings

  • Contains rows where missing values were imputed.

  • The datetime_utc timestamps have been cleaned due to inconsistent datetime reporting. See core_ferc714__hourly_planning_area_demand for additional details.

  • FERC data is notoriously difficult to extract cleanly, and often contains free-form strings, non-labeled total rows and lack of IDs. See Notable Irregularities for details.

Additional Details

This table is based on core_ferc714__hourly_planning_area_demand, but adds imputed demand values where the original data was missing or anomalous. Codes explaining why values have been imputed can be found in the core_pudl__codes_imputation_reasons table.
