Household coverage and assigned power factors drive this simulation

Read the explanation

The source cooled household count is households times penetration percentage over one hundred. Hypothetical ten million households with penetration forty percent gives four million; eighty gives eight million. Bars share fifty-five pixels per assumed million households. Uncooled count is the remainder. Saved regional and agency data claims are unverified; this is not a current coverage report. For hypothetical effective power one point five kilowatts per cooled household, the source concurrency factor point six five gives peak three point nine gigawatts at four million cooled households and seven point eight at eight million. Bars share fifty-five pixels per assigned gigawatt. This assumed concurrency and power are not a validated grid-demand forecast. The source cooling-degree-day multiplier is one plus heat anomaly times point zero eight. Hypothetical one-degree anomaly gives one point zero eight; two gives one point one six. Bars share three hundred eighty pixels per multiplier unit. Effective power separately uses one plus anomaly times point zero three, so total energy changes through both factors. These coefficients are source assumptions, not verified physical climate effects. Full JSON/reset, native four-width allocation and first-footer checks preserve original behavior.
