Avoiding ecosystem and social impacts of hydropower, wind, and solar in Southern Africa’s low-carbon electricity system

Data to accompany paper entitled, "Avoiding ecosystem and social impacts of hydropower, wind, and solar in Southern Africa’s low-carbon electricity system"

Includes source data as CSVs and GIS data of reservoir footprints

For help interpreting the hydropowerPortfolio csvs, see the supporting information table S4

For help interpreting the non-hydropower CSVs:
- ccap = no (normal) carbon cap
- ccap_low = low carbon cap
- costs_emissions = total system costs (USD) and GHG emissions of all scenarios
- capacity_generation = capacity (GW) and generation (TWh)
- diffFromBaseLine = difference from baseline for capacity and generation
- percentagechangeFromBaseline = differences expressed as percentages
- rawValues = new capacity (GW) additions and total generation (TWh)
