Empty data sets in renewable_power_plants_DE.csv (2017_02_16)

There are 25755 empty datasets in the latest download of Germany's renewable power plants (see screenshot). It does not hurt but it is a little annoying and might be interesting for you.

The empty rows still exist in the new csv-file. It's no big deal, because they only need about 2MB.
I remove them (using pandas) by checking the capacity column (power plants without capacity do not help anyway).

re_power_plants = pandas.read_csv(orig_csv_file)
re_power_plants = re_power_plants[re_power_plants.electrical_capacity.notnull()]

You may add something like this to your code to avoid empty rows. If you want to be sure you can check several rows.
