Kurdistan (KRG)

Provenance, tier, and validation record for kurdistan. No live curtailment figures on this page — those are on the globe.

Region id: kurdistan

Estimated Data quality

Tier

estimated · T3-modelled

No live feed and no published total for this region. A typical-shape profile is scaled to a capacity-based or literature anchor.

Modelled profile, scaled to annual (±40%)

Uncertainty

±40% of peak GW

Published envelope for this tier. See the uncertainty model.

Source provenance

modelled-fallback · No verified upstream link

There is no verified upstream link. The snapshot is a typical-shape profile scaled to an anchor, or otherwise estimated.

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

No backfill and no TSO anchor. Region relies solely on the live snapshot; nothing to triangulate against.

Known limitations

No public hourly archive. The KRG Ministry of Electricity (gov.krd/moel-en/) public pages do not expose hourly solar curtailment data. The loader emits a typical solar shape (peak UTC 7) scaled to a nominal ~0.05 TWh/yr anchor — the smallest tracked anchor in the dataset, reflecting an early-stage solar deployment in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. T3-modelled, ±40% envelope. The region is included for geographic completeness across Iraqi sub-regions (kurdistan / iraq-mainland / s-iraq flare) rather than because of dispatch-down volume; reviewers should treat it as a placeholder pending a public KRG generation/curtailment series.
