| notes: | |
| - Demand and carbon intensity are SERIES and measures inside the generation tables, | |
| not separate datasets -- which is why the three bulk files cover what the API exposes | |
| as six endpoints. | |
| - is_derived marks Ember's own aggregate series (Total generation, Clean, Fossil, | |
| Renewables, Demand, ...). Summing across `series` without filtering it double-counts. | |
| - entity_kind separates countries from Ember's 15 precomputed aggregates. The groups | |
| OVERLAP (EU is a subset of OECD), so summing across entity_id without filtering | |
| double-counts differently. | |
| - AU and MENA have no membership column upstream and cannot be derived from country | |
| rows; they are readable only as the aggregate rows Ember ships. | |
