Description

Feature Request

PUDL archives the EIA Residential Energy Consumption Survey, Commercial Energy Consumption Survey and Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (see here for the archives). Would be good to pull this data directly from these archives, as it will make updating easier in the future. Moreover, its clearer to new users what data we are actually using.

Suggested Solution

Add a new retrieve rule that pulls these data sources. Then point the snakemake rules to the sources. Should be drop in replacements; ie. underlying code filtering should not need to change.

Research direction

Start by locating the retrieve rule and the Snakemake rules that currently reference the energy survey data, then compare them with the EIA survey archives linked in the issue. Add retrieval for the residential, commercial, and manufacturing sources and point the Snakemake rules at them; done means the existing filtering continues to work without underlying-code changes.
