Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Guides an agent through energy procurement tasks for electricity and gas, including tariff analysis, supplier RFPs, contract negotiation, demand charge management, renewable energy sourcing, budget forecasting, and sustainability reporting for multi-facility operations.
How it works
The skill defines a role as a senior energy procurement manager for a C&I company with 10–50+ sites and annual spend of $15M–$80M. It instructs handling full procurement lifecycle: analyze pricing structures (energy, demand, capacity, T&D, riders), choose procurement strategies (fixed-price, index, hybrid blocks, layered purchases, RFPs), identify and manage demand charges via interval data, explore renewable options (physical PPAs, VPPA, RECs, on-site generation), and profile loads (base vs variable, load factor, system contributions). It emphasizes load profiling, market structures (regulated vs deregulated, LMP), risk management (layered hedges, options, weather risk), and sustainability reporting alignment (Scope 2, RE100, CDP, SBTi). It also highlights DR, ratchet provisions, and potential cost drivers like peak periods and tariff clauses.
When to use it
Use this skill for managing energy procurement tasks such as optimizing electricity or gas tariffs, evaluating PPAs, or developing long-term energy cost management strategies for commercial or industrial facilities.
What it can touch
The skill references tools and data sources such as interval data, ISOs/RTOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, MISO, SPP), REPs, energy brokers/aggregators, and procurement platforms. It discusses using 15-minute interval data to identify peaks and to model demand charges, and it mentions budget forecasting and sustainability reporting datasets. It does not specify executable commands beyond describing procedures.
Caveats
Risk is labeled safe. No explicit license terms beyond MIT or explicit risk caveats beyond general considerations for hedging and market exposure are provided in this summary.
## When to Use Use this skill when managing energy procurement tasks, such as optimizing electricity or gas tariffs, evaluating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), or developing long-term energy cost management strategies for commercial or industrial facilities. # 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), a

What does the energy-procurement skill do?
Codified expertise for electricity and gas procurement, tariff optimisation, demand charge management, renewable PPA evaluation, and multi-facility energy cost management.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
