Tariff Design Impact Modeling for Rate Analysts
Model tariff revenue, load, and bill impacts with regulatory-ready sensitivity analysis
What You Can Do
You can construct multi-scenario tariff impact models that forecast revenue adequacy, customer bill distributions by segment, and demand response outcomes under proposed rate designs. The skill helps you translate tariff mechanics into transparent financial projections, regulatory documentation, and stakeholder communication frameworks that satisfy utility commission requirements and withstand rate case scrutiny.
Features
model 2–5 tariff alternatives with parallel financial outcomes for comparison
calculate residential, commercial, and industrial customer impacts with percentile distributions
project peak demand and consumption shifts under time-of-use and demand-response tariffs
stress test tariffs across weather, usage, and cost scenarios with breakeven thresholds
generate findings, assumptions, and cost allocation support for tariff filings
create executive summaries, visual impact charts, and testimony-ready talking points
allocate fixed and variable costs across rate classes using embedded cost-of-service methodology
verify tariff design recovers authorized revenue under forecasted load conditions
Example Output
Revenue Impact Summary:
- Current tariff revenue: $145.2M | Proposed TOU tariff revenue: $148.7M (+2.4%) | Conservative case: $142.1M (−2.1%)
Residential Bill Impacts (Annual):
- Average bill change: +$12/month (+3.2%)
- 25th percentile (low usage): −$8/month | 75th percentile (high usage): +$28/month
Sensitivity Table (Peak Demand Reduction %):
| Scenario | 0% Reduction | 5% Reduction | 10% Reduction | 15% Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Case | $148.7M | $151.2M | $153.8M | $156.4M |
| Weather Stress | $142.1M | $144.1M | $146.3M | $148.6M |

You can search Wikidata using four complementary methods: keyword search via the Action API for label-based lookups, semantic/hybrid search through the Vector Database for fuzzy concept matching, direct entity retrieval via Special:EntityData for instant JSON data, and SPARQL queries through WDQS for complex graph relationships and reporting. Each method is optimized for different use cases—from quick entity lookups to multi-table data analysis across millions of linked facts.

You can rapidly diagnose medium-voltage distribution faults by analyzing protective device coordination sequences, load flow impacts, and field crew reports within Claude. The skill helps you distinguish between transient and permanent faults, identify whether issues stem from equipment failure or external factors, and validate remediation strategies before implementing risky switching operations. This accelerates your analytical phase so field resources can be deployed efficiently and switching decisions are made with confidence.

You can input grid state data—current generation mix, transmission constraints, demand forecasts, and unit availability—and Claude analyzes trade-offs between economic dispatch and reliability, recommending optimal generator scheduling and constraint management strategies. The skill helps you identify dispatch opportunities missed in manual review, evaluate whether to commit additional units or curtail load, and communicate dispatch rationale to operators and management during challenging conditions like high renewable penetration or unexpected outages.

You can process complex multivariate utility datasets to identify non-linear relationships between weather, seasonality, calendar effects, and electricity demand. The skill generates calibrated probabilistic forecasts with confidence intervals (10th, 50th, 90th percentiles) that support risk-aware dispatch decisions, unit commitment planning, and reserve procurement—while flagging anomalies and structural shifts in consumption behavior for manual investigation.

This skill automates the creation of topic files in your .notes/ directory with pre-formatted YAML frontmatter and section templates. You provide a topic name, and Claude generates a properly named file with consistent metadata (description, keywords, timestamps) and ready-to-use section headers. This eliminates manual setup time and ensures all your knowledge management files follow the same organizational structure.
