Venezuela

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

Region id: venezuela
Country: VEN
Waste modality: Wind
Coordinates: 10.49° N, 66.90° W

Estimated Data quality

Tier: estimated · T3-modelled
No waste figure: no curtailment series is collected for this grid and none is modelled, so the globe shows it as a grid marker without a waste pillar. The T3 label only records that nothing here is measured.
Uncertainty: None
No waste figure, so there is no envelope to publish.
Source provenance: modelled-fallback · No verified upstream link
There is no verified upstream link, and no waste figure is served for this grid.
Source: No curtailment series collected; grid present, waste unpublished. Its former 0.5 TWh/yr anchor (IRENA RE Statistics 2024) was 25× Venezuela's 2024 wind generation of 0.02 TWh (Our World in Data, from Ember and the Energy Institute), so it was dropped on 2026-09-29.

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

No region-specific limitations recorded. See docs/methodology/historical-backfill.md §"Known limitations" for cross-cutting notes.
