### elec_heat_rate_BTUperkWh

* **Description:** Heat rate by technology, vintage, subregion, and year. Solar and wind heat rates should have a value of 0.
* **gcam query:** "elec coeff"
* **Description:** Heat rate by technology, vintage, and state. GCAM-USA reports heat rates in EJ in / EJ out ratios. These need to be converted to BTU in / kWh out.

* **gcam query:** "elec coefs by tech"
* **Original units:**
* **Output units:** btu/kWh
* **Calculation:**
BRITISH_THERMAL_UNITS_PER_EXAJOULE = 9.48e14
KWH_PER_EXAJOULE = 2.77778e11

Example:

1.2 EJ/EJ = (1.2 * BRITISH_THERMAL_UNITS_PER_EXAJOULE) / KWH_PER_EXAJOULE
= 4095.356 BTU/kWh
