Description
It would be cool to have an automated option for aggregating power plants into sub-national clusters within each country, based on standard sub-national units.
For instance, it would be really nice if the user could choose, as an option, the level of spatial aggregation, e.g.:
- NUTS2
- NUTS3
- GADM
So, instead of having as an output just the aggregate capacity of each European country, one could have the aggregate capacity of each sub-national region of interest. This would facilitate a lot the functional coupling of the project to any power system model.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing country-level power-plant aggregation and its input data structures, then determine how NUTS2, NUTS3, and GADM selection should be exposed. Done means producing aggregate capacity by the selected sub-national units while preserving country-level aggregation.
