Description

Feature Request

Right now, the electrical and sector coupling cost data, in build_cost_data.py are separate, and two different files are generated; one for electricity, one for sector. We should standardize data structures so we can combine them.

Suggested Solution

No response

Research direction

Review related issues #360 and #231 for context, then verify that the standardized structure supports combined cost data rather than producing separate electricity and sector files.
