Description
The current database of existing historical heat generation capacities that we are using in the transition paths
https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur-sec/blob/ba4bea250f72d7b4056720467062f1ac1a775ec6/scripts/add_existing_baseyear.py#L281
is not complete.
This creates some distortion, e.g. installing large capacities of heat pumps the first time step that the system is optimized.

Research direction
Start in scripts/add_existing_baseyear.py around line 281, where existing historical heat-generation capacities are defined. Investigate which capacities are missing from the database and how they affect transition-path initialization. Done means the database is more complete and the initial optimization no longer requires distorted large heat-pump additions.
