Measured Data quality

Tier

live · T1a-live-tso

The transmission system operator publishes an hourly series, and the calibration rate comes from the same jurisdiction.

Live TSO feed, own-jurisdiction rate (±2σ from 5-yr backfill, fallback ±15%)

Uncertainty

±15% of peak GW

Regions with a five-year backfill archive use ±2σ of observed annual variance instead of this default fraction.

Published envelope for this tier. See the uncertainty model.

Source provenance

verified · Verified upstream link

The snapshot value comes from a verified upstream feed or anchor.

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

The prior T3 assumption of ~0.4-0.5 TWh/yr is not supported by the ADME hourly restriction workbook. Direct ADME rows resolve the annual-anchor conflict toward ~0.1 TWh for 2024 and near-zero 2025 restrictions.

2026-05-08 recheck: scripts/research/uruguay-adme-annual-floor.ts reproduced the annual workbook pull but obtained higher raw sums (0.407454 TWh for 2024 and 0.203744 TWh for 2025) when summing all matched renewable restriction columns. These values are preserved as research-only in docs/research/2026-05-08-uruguay-adme-annual-floor.* and are not production floor rows. The blocker is the unresolved source-definition conflict: the workbook column key and active-restriction denominator must be reconciled against the earlier ~0.108 TWh note before Uruguay can be published in data/source-verified-floor/.

Known limitations

ADME publishes the current restriction-status table in quasi-real time, but the control-panel restriction workbook is month-complete DTE data. This is measured TSO data, not a modelled shape, but freshness is monthly rather than sub-hourly.
