Reading the SADI: open indicators

Curated panels on Argentina’s interconnected grid, built only from open public data. Each one answers a question, shows its method, and carries my current reading.

How these panels work

  • Open data only. Every series behind these panels is published under an open license by the Argentine government’s open data portal or by the other public sources listed on each panel.
  • To consult, not to download. The panels show the data and the author’s analysis of them, but do not offer files to download. Anyone who needs the data can obtain it from the sources cited on each panel.
  • Updated with the sources. When a source publishes a new month, the panel is recalculated.
  • With a reading. Below each panel, my current interpretation, dated, with its status. When new data change it, the change is recorded.
  • Monthly, not hourly. The open sources are monthly. The hourly analyses are in the publications, which present only the author’s own results.
