What problem does it solve? Managing energy spend across multiple commercial and industrial facilities requires navigating complex tariff structures, volatile wholesale markets, demand charges, and long-term renewable contracts. This Skill codifies 15+ years of energy procurement expertise so you can structure RFPs, optimize rate schedules, manage demand charges, and evaluate PPAs with the rigor of a senior procurement manager. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Procurement Strategy Design: Structure fixed, index, block-and-index, and layered procurement approaches across deregulated markets (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, MISO, SPP) with staggered contract terms. - Demand Charge Management: Analyze 15-minute interval data to identify peak-setting intervals, evaluate battery storage and load shifting ROI, and avoid ratchet clause traps. - PPA & Renewable Evaluation: Model physical and virtual PPA economics including basis risk, curtailment exposure, REC delivery, and Scope 2 / RE100 reporting alignment. - Use Case: A manufacturer with 25 facilities across PJM and ERCOT and $40M annual spend uses this Skill to structure a multi-site RFP, evaluate six supplier bids, and recommend a blended strategy locking 60% of volume at fixed rates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze your facility's interval meter data and recommend a procurement strategy for your upcoming electricity contract renewal.
