Energy Procurement

What it does

Provides a complete playbook for commercial & industrial energy procurement: load profiling, tariff optimization, RFP structuring, demand charge mitigation, layered hedging, and PPA evaluation. It helps procurement managers design RFPs, evaluate bids on total cost of energy (including capacity, T&D, and risk premiums), and model renewable PPA economics and basis risk.

When to use it

Use this skill when running multi-site RFPs, analyzing tariff structures, evaluating demand charge mitigation options (storage, load shifting, DR), assessing physical or virtual PPAs, or building annual energy budgets and hedge strategies. It is especially useful during market volatility events or before long-term procurements.

What's included

• Scripts: None in this package
• References: Detailed procedural instructions and examples embedded in the skill body (multi-site RFP, demand-charge case studies, PPA model notes)
• Instructions: Step-by-step guidance for profiling interval meter data, structuring RFPs, evaluating bids, layering procurement, and monitoring market positions.

Compatible agents

Fits agents and toolchains that support long-form procedural skills and numerical reasoning (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot-style assistants).
