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

official-lead · Official source identified, live path not producing

An authoritative source exists and the loader is wired or scaffolded, but the live path is not producing usable data — geoblocked, auth-gated, or parser pending. The emitted snapshot falls back to modelled or last-good values.

Source

TAIPOWER 2023 Sustainability Report: ~0.3 TWh/yr curtailment anchor (2023 actual). Live promotion attempted 2026-04-29, reverted: TAIPOWER genary.json exposes instantaneous unit output, no curtailment archive or daily CSV. MOEA/TAIPOWER publish annual aggregate in PDF only. T1 not achievable until a daily machine-readable endpoint is published.

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 region-specific limitations recorded. See docs/methodology/historical-backfill.md §"Known limitations" for cross-cutting notes.
