Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 21 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
- Historical period (e.g., 1991-2020) and future scenario (RCP 4.5, RCP 8.5)
- Temperature trends: annual average, extreme heat days (>95°F)
- Precipitation changes: total annual, intense rainfall events, drought frequency
- Sea level rise projections (feet) for coastal substations and flooding
- Wildfire risk index and expansion of high-risk zones
- Hurricane intensity and frequency projections
- Cooling degree day increases and peak load growth
- Infrastructure hardening investments: undergrounding, flood barriers, fire-resistant poles
