## Overview
This program is a command line interface application (CLI app), developed in Python to automate data wrangling transformations by cleaning and structuring energy demand (load) data from electricity agencies in 10 Southern African countries. The CLI app supports the data analytics and data pipeline development for the UC Santa Barbara, Bren School, Clean Energy Transformation lab (CETlab) research team.
The CETlab application was completely designed, developed, and maintain by the software engineer and data scientist Tiana Curry. This CLI app is an example of a complete project workflow from problem, idea to deployment. It is a full stack, Object-Oriented Program, Python application that solves common organization issues in data pipeline development used in the university and academic research sector.
## Description
### Goals
#### Research Goal
This program is a command line interface application (CLI app) designed to clean datasets for the UC Santa Barbara, Bren School, Clean Energy Transformation lab (CETlab) and GridPath software. The CETlab works in collaboration with specific electricity agencies and other stakeholders throughout Southern Africa to provide sustainable renewable energy. The CETlab and GridPath goal is to provide reliable renewable energy to 10+ countries throughout Africa, to support their growing economies and increase access to essential resources; while leading the way to clean energy use for large popula …
