What problem does it solve?
Commercial and industrial organizations with multi-facility energy spend struggle with high and volatile energy costs, complex utility tariff structures, unexpected demand charges, and meeting renewable energy sustainability targets without overspending.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tariff & Demand Charge Optimization: Analyze interval load data to identify peak demand drivers, implement load shifting and battery storage strategies, and avoid costly demand ratchet traps.
- Multi-Facility Procurement: Structure RFPs, evaluate supplier bids across fixed, index, and block-and-index products, and build layered hedging strategies to balance cost savings with budget certainty.
- Renewable PPA Evaluation: Assess physical and virtual PPA offers, model basis risk and curtailment exposure, and align procurement decisions with Scope 2 emissions targets and RE100 commitments.
- Use Case: For a company with 25 facilities across PJM and ERCOT and $40M annual energy spend, use this skill to design a blended procurement strategy that locks 60% of volume at fixed rates while maintaining 40% index exposure for long-term cost optimization.
Quick Start
Use the energy-procurement skill to review your facility's 15-minute interval meter data and calculate the potential monthly savings from shaving your top 3 peak demand intervals.
