Motivation and context:

We have an archiver currently which grabs all of the MECS files from 2018. The task here is to convert the archiver to grab all of the files for all of the available MECS years. Right now the archiver saves all of the 2018 tables as individual files. We need to convert this to generate one zip file per year using the add_to_archive method (see eia860m as an example).

Requirements for archiving

To be archived on Zenodo, a dataset must be:

• published under an open license that permits reuse and redistribution
• less than 50Gb in size (when zipped)
• relevant to energy modelling and research

Checklist for archive creation
