Renaming “Market group for electricity” to “Market for electricity”

We have updated the Electricity market group names in our Ecoinvent datasets:
Old name: Market group for electricity
New name: Market for electricity

Ecoinvent provides electricity supply datasets at two hierarchical levels:
1-Market for electricity
May refer to a global or local activity.
e.g CN-SCG: Market for electricity (China, South-Central grid)
2-Market group for electricity
An aggregation (bundle) of several region-specific market datasets, representing a broader geography.
e.g CN: Market group for electricity (covering all regional electricity markets within China)

The market groups for broader geographies are now displayed as Markets. 


Note: This update is only a display name change. The underlying content from Ecoinvent remains identical.
