PUDL v2024.8.0 quarterly data release is available

[zaneselvans]

We've just made a new quarterly data release v2024.8.0 which is now available in all of the places our data goes! See our data access docs for information on how to get it.

This is our regular quarterly release for 2024Q3. It includes quarterly updates to all datasets that are updated with quarterly or higher frequency by their publishers, so:

• EIA-860M
• EIA-923 (YTD data)
• EIA-930
• the EIA’s bulk electricity API data (used to fill in missing fuel prices), and
• the EPA CEMS hourly emissions data.

Annual datasets which have been published since our last quarterly release have also been integrated. These include:

• FERC Forms 1, 2, 6, 60, and 714, and
• NREL ATB.

This release also includes provisional versions of the 2023 annual data for EIA-860 and EIA-923, whose final release will not happen until the fall.

See the release notes in our documentation for more narrative on what went into this release, and the v2024.8.0 GitHub release for a list of all the PRs that got merged, including some from first-time contributors @seeess1 and @Nancy9ice.

Feel free to comment here if you find any problems with the release, or even if you just want to say hi and let us know you're using it!

Many thanks to our friends at @rmi-electricity for providing the financial support required to get these releases out regularly.
