Tier, provenance, and source are read at build time from src/lib/regions.ts — the same table the globe draws from. The validation record below is generated separately and gated against it by npm run ci:docs-drift.

Discrepancy analysis
Pending: no backfill parquet yet for this region. Once HB.1 / HB.2 land the per-year totals for this region, this section will summarise the Δ vs TSO/Ember/IRENA and flag any year exceeding ±25%.
Known limitations
T3 static region — no public hourly archive. Annual anchor from IRENA with typical-day profile applied. See docs/known-limitations.md.
