Aggregate-area rows (World, regions) filtered at parse time
Empty cells render as '..' or '.' per IRENA convention
Committed 3-technology slice lives in data/irena_capacity_2025/ (pulled from the IRENASTAT pxweb API); supplies the INSTALLED stock the wind/solar proxies multiply (complement to GEM's pipeline)

Live: committed installed-capacity slice (onshore/offshore wind + solar PV) from the IRENASTAT pxweb Country_ELECCAP table; an operator can drop a fuller XLSX extract to override.
