Preserve one canonical row per (station_triplet) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

Group only after preserving the declared grain: station_triplet.

Dataset	Description
BPA Anemometer TowersBPA · daily	BPA's anemometer towers with coordinates, elevation and sensor heights, active and retired.
CAISO Interconnection QueueCAISO · monthly snapshot	CAISO's public generation interconnection queue, combining active, completed, and withdrawn projects with the proposed point of interconnection, technology, requested capacity, status, and completion dates. Each posting is a snapshot: current totals must use one latest snapshot, and requested queue MW is not operating capacity, available transmission headroom, or evidence that a project will be built.
CAISO Price LocationsCAISO · slow-moving dimension, refreshed every 6 hours	Every CAISO location that carries a price, as three columns: location_id, name, and kind. 26,632 rows — node (26,048), interface (578), zone (6). This is the dimension the CAISO price, and where applicable constraint, tables join to, and it is the one place a location's type is decided: resolve "which hubs exist", "is this a zone or a node", or "give me the readable name for this id" here rather than inferring a type from a name prefix. For CAISO, name equals location_id (the pnode name). The same three columns exist for every market, so the equivalent question in another ISO is the same query against that ISO's table.
