core_eiaaeo__yearly_projected_fuel_cost_in_electric_sector_by_type

[jdangerx]

Overview

A few people have asked us about this set of data from AEO table 54, so we should pull it in.

Success criteria

• regional fuel cost projections are in the PUDL database under core_eiaaeo__yearly_projected_fuel_cost_in_electric_sector_by_type

4. graph the outputs to see if they seem reasonable
5. write asset checks to assert things about the shape of the data
