Looks good, just some minor suggestions.

If the link is somewhat reliable, one could even set retrieve_irena: true by default and completely deleted "data/existing_infrastructure/*_IRENA.csv" files from repository.

I guess so. It's a fixed query directly provided by IRENA. Please note that the query is configured to not update time periods.
