Description

Feature Request

It would be good to have configuration file options for how to apply cost data multipliers

Suggested Solution

A simple implementation of the options we could add is given below.

costs:
  multipliers:
     regional:
       capex: true # apply capex multipliers at a state level
       fuel: true # apply fuel costs at a state level
     temporal:
       fuel: true # apply monthly variance in fuel costs
