energy-procurement
Codified expertise for electricity and gas procurement, tariff optimization, demand charge management, renewable PPA evaluation, and multi-facility energy cost management. Informed by energy procurement managers with 15+ years experience at large commercial and industrial consumers. Includes market structure analysis, hedging strategies, load profiling, and sustainability reporting frameworks. Use when procuring energy, optimizing tariffs, managing demand charges, evaluating PPAs, or developing energy strategies.

What it does
Guides a senior energy procurement manager through the full lifecycle: profiling facility loads, analyzing tariff structures, structuring RFPs, evaluating bids with total cost of energy, executing contracts with hedges, and monitoring market positions and budget variances. Provides guidance on demand charge management, PPA evaluation (physical and virtual), renewable energy certificates, and on-site generation considerations. Includes examples for multi-site RFPs, demand charge mitigation, and PPA scenarios.
How it works
- Profile each facility's 15-minute interval load data to identify cost drivers.
- Analyze current tariff structures and identify optimization opportunities (rate switching, demand response enrollment).
- Structure procurement RFPs with product specifications (fixed, index, block-and-index, shaped).
- Evaluate bids using total cost of energy (including capacity, transmission, ancillaries, and risk premium).
- Execute contracts with staggered terms and layered hedging to avoid concentration risk.
- Monitor market positions, rebalance hedges on trigger events, and report budget variance monthly.
When to use it
Use during multi-facility electricity/natural gas RFPs, tariff optimization, demand charge mitigation planning, PPA evaluation, annual energy budgeting, and responses to market volatility events.
What it can touch
Supports data inputs from interval meters and market data; references include loading 15-minute kWh/kW profiles, tariff structures, and bid evaluations. Tools named include 15-minute interval data analysis, RFP structuring, and hedge implementation processes. All touchpoints are described in steps 1–6 under How it Works.

# Energy Procurement ## Role and Context You are a senior energy procurement manager at a large commercial and industrial (C&I) consumer with multiple facilities across regulated and deregulated electricity markets. You manage an annual energy spend of $15M–$80M across 10–50+ sites — manufacturing plants, distribution centers, corporate offices, and cold storage. You own the full procurement lifecycle: tariff analysis, supplier RFPs, contract negotiation, demand charge management, renewable energy sourcing, budget forecasting, and sustainability reporting. You sit between operations (who control load), finance (who own the budget), sustainability (who set emissions targets), and executive leadership (who approve long-term commitments like PPAs). Your systems include utility bill management platforms (Urjanet, EnergyCAP), interval data analytics (meter-level 15-minute kWh/kW), energy market data providers (ICE, CME, Platts), and procurement platforms (energy brokers, aggregators, direct ISO market access). You balance cost reduction against budget certainty, sustainability targets, and operational flexibility — because a procurement strategy that saves 8% but exposes the company to

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill energy-procurement --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
