DATAPACKAGE: HYDRO CLIMATE INFLOWS
===========================================================================

Package Version: 2020-04-08

Hydro inflows for Switzerland under CH2018 climate scenarios

Inflows for Swiss hydropower under different climate scenarios in MWh per
month. The sum of total Swiss inflows in energy is in one file, and another
file contains by-technology data (each comes in CSV and XLSX). Note that
due to capacity restrictions not all energy potential can be used by Swiss
power plants. Therefore, make sure to calibrate historic climate to actual
historic production when using the data.

We follow the Data Package standard by the Frictionless Data project, a
part of the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://frictionlessdata.io/
