Fixes #375.

What is wrong

The costs of exchange technologies are gathered in ExchangeTechCostLedger and assigned to regions by get_entries. It records each link's cost with region_costs[region, period, tech, vintage].update({cost_type: cost}), which replaces any cost already recorded for that region, period, technology and vintage. A region linked to two or more other regions by the same technology and vintage therefore keeps the cost of only one of those links, whichever is processed last, and output_cost is short by the rest. This happens in both branches of get_entries (cost entered on both directions of a link, and cost entered on one direction and split by use), and for every cost the ledger holds: investment, fixed and variable costs, and the economies-of-scale and unit commitment costs those extensions record there for links.

A small example

Region A is linked to B and to C by technology t1, vintage 2000. The fixed cost of the B-A link is 100 and of the C-A link 20, both entered on both directions, so A, as the importer on both, should be written 100 + 20 = 120. Before this change A is written one of the two; in the test below it is written 100.

The same holds when the cost is entered on one direction and split by use. With a cost of 100 on A-B, of which A takes 40% by use, and 50 on A-C, of which A takes 70%, A should be written 40 + 35 = 75; before this change it is written 40.

What changed

get_entries in temoa/_internal/exchange_tech_cost_ledger.py now adds each link's cost to whatever is already recorded for the region and cost type, in the four places it records a cost, the same way the economies-of-scale and unit commitment pullers add their costs to entries. Which region each cost is assigned to, and the split by use, are unchanged. A region with a single link for a technology and vintage is written exactly what it was before.

Nothing else on the way to output_cost combines links. add_cost_record already adds repeated records for the same link, poll_cost_results and the extensions pass each link to the ledger separately, and TableWriter writes one row per region, period, technology and vintage.

What doesn't change

• The model's choices and the solve's objective. The objective (period_cost_rule) sums the cost of every link; only the cost written afterwards was short.
• output_objective in perfect-foresight runs, which is the solved objective.
• Emission costs on links, which poll_emissions writes under the link's own region name (for example A-B) without the ledger.

A myopic run's output_objective is the sum of the discounted columns of output_cost (MyopicSequencer.get_current_total_cost), so it was short by the same amount and is corrected along with output_cost.

The test

tests/test_exchange_cost_ledger.py had a single pair of regions, A-B. The new test_cost_allocation_multiple_links links A to both B and C by the same technology and vintage, with flows on each direction so that splitting by use gives different shares on each link, and checks the cost written for every region and that the written costs add up to the recorded ones. It covers costs entered on both directions, costs entered on one direction and split by use, and one link of each kind. Values are compared with pytest.approx at 1e-5; there are no saved outputs.

Without the fix all three cases fail on region A: 100 against 120, 40 against 75, and 100 against 135. With the fix they pass.

The full suite passes locally (292 tests, Python 3.12, Gurobi's size-limited licence), and ruff and mypy are clean. On the fork's CI, the type check and the tests passed on Ubuntu and Windows with Python 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14, and on macOS with Python 3.12 and 3.14. The macOS job with Python 3.13 did not run: GitHub cancelled it after no runner became available.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed cost tracking when multiple links share the same technology and vintage.
  • Costs are now accumulated rather than overwritten, preserving the full recorded amount.
  • Improved allocation of one-sided costs according to usage ratios.
  • Ensured costs are correctly distributed across all connected regions and links.

Walkthrough

ExchangeTechCostLedger.get_entries now accumulates costs for multiple links that share a region, technology, and vintage. Tests cover unsplit, usage-split, and mixed cost allocations across three regions.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cost accumulation and multi-link validation temoa/_internal/exchange_tech_cost_ledger.py, tests/test_exchange_cost_ledger.py	The ledger adds paired and split costs to existing regional totals instead of replacing them. Parameterized tests check allocations for links from A to B and C, and verify that the total recorded cost is conserved.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2b6fd

The change is mergeable with a bounded testing gap: investment and variable costs need multi-link regression cases to protect the reported cost table.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #375 requires accumulated exchange-technology costs in output_cost for multiple links with the same region, period, technology, and vintage. get_entries now adds each cost to the existing entry in both-direction and use-split branches. The generic cost_type loop covers investment, fixed, variable, discounted, economies-of-scale, and unit-commitment ledger costs. The new multiple-link test covers unsplit, split, and mixed cases and checks cost conservation. Emission costs and solved-objective behavior remain outside this ledger change.

Explanation

The supplied change summary lists only temoa/_internal/exchange_tech_cost_ledger.py and its focused test file. The implementation changes cost aggregation, and the test adds coverage for the linked issue behavior. No unrelated production behavior or unrelated test scope is shown.

must also cover accumulation for CostType.INVEST and CostType.VARIABLE. Extend
