Notes:

1 The inventories for these technologies are based on data from 2016; however, so long as the same plants exist in other years in the EIA 923 data, that inventory can be re-used and applied to different years.

2 The inventories for these technologies are based on data from 2016 and 2020 (as defined in the RENEWABLE_VINTAGE parameter in globals.py).
