What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you design and execute electricity and natural gas procurement strategies that reduce total cost and manage risk across multi-site, rate-structured environments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tariff and bill component optimization: Breaks delivered cost into energy, demand, capacity, transmission/distribution, and riders to target the biggest controllable drivers.
- Procurement strategy and hedging design: Recommends fixed, index, and block-and-index structures with layered tranches to balance budget certainty vs. exposure to price spikes.
- Demand charge and renewable sourcing evaluation: Analyzes interval peaks for demand charge mitigation and evaluates physical/virtual PPAs and REC approaches for sustainability targets.
- Operational and reporting decision framework: Provides escalation triggers and performance indicators for ongoing monitoring, budgeting, and stakeholder alignment.
Quick Start
Use the energy-procurement skill to build a multi-facility RFP and hedging recommendation from 15-minute interval load data and current tariff details.
