Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #879 and tracing how sectoral demand data is loaded and assigned to states. Check whether District of Columbia demand is dropped for other sectors, then compare that behavior with hydrogen demand. Done means confirming the existing behavior and making DC demand consistently count toward Maryland.

The Issue

@WeiAi-Energy introduced hydrogen in PR #879. In this PR, he adds DC demand to Maryland. I think this is a nice way to manage the extra DC demand as we do not account for DC as a separate state. Im pretty sure for the other demands, we just drop DC right now, instead of adding the demand to Maryland.

We should:

  1. Confirm that DC demand is dropped when adding other sectoral demands (Im 90% sure it is, but this does need a double check)
  2. Add DC demand to Maryland for consistency
