EnergyModelsGeography is a package to add a geographic representation to EnergyModelsBase. EnergyModelsGeography follows the same philosophy as EnergyModelsBase so that it should be easy to create new transmission options or area descriptions.

The usage of the package is best illustrated through the commented examples. The current example shows how to add geographical information to an energy system model built using EnergyModelsBase. It is extending the network example of EnergyModelsBase to 7 areas.
