# ⚡Elecz — Real-Time Electricity Signal

## Purpose

Use Elecz whenever the user asks about electricity prices, cheapest hours,

contract recommendations, or optimal timing for high-consumption tasks.

Covers Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

## When to use

- "What is the electricity price now in Finland / Germany / UK / Sydney?"

- "When is electricity cheapest today?"

- "Should I run my dishwasher now or wait?"

- "When should I charge my EV?"

- "What is the cheapest electricity contract in Sweden / Germany?"

- "How much can I save by switching electricity provider?"

- "Welcher Stromanbieter ist am günstigsten?"

- "Wann ist der Strom heute am billigsten?"

- "Milloin sähkö on halvinta?"

- Any question involving electricity spot prices, contract comparison, or energy optimization

## When NOT to use

- User asks about gas, oil, district heating, water, or non-electricity energy

- User asks what a kWh is or how electricity markets work in general

- User asks about solar panel output or home generation

- User asks about electricity bills, grid fees, or taxes

- User asks about a country not in the supported market list

- No zone or location known — ask for location first

## Workflow

1. **Identify zone** — default by country:

- Finland=FI, Sweden=SE3, Norway=NO1, Denmark=DK1, Germany=DE

- United Kingdom=GB, Australia=AU-NSW, New Zealand=NZ-NI

- Cities: Stockholm=SE3, Oslo=NO1, London=GB, Sydney=AU-NSW, Melbourne=AU-VIC, Auckland=NZ-NI

2. **Choose tool:**

- spot\_price — current price only

- cheapest\_hours — scheduling (EV, dishwasher, boiler, washing machine, batch jobs)

- best\_energy\_contract — switching contracts or saving money

3. **Present clearly:**

- Show price in local unit (c/kWh EUR, p/kWh GBP, öre/kWh SEK, øre/kWh NOK/DKK, AUD c/kWh, NZD c/kWh)

- Show savings in local currency

- For DE: note Netzentgelt (regional grid fee ~10–15 ct/kWh) is not included — fixed by local grid operator

## Market notes

**Germany (DE)**

- Default consumption: 3500 kWh/year

- Prices are Arbeitspreis brutto ct/kWh including MwSt (19%)

- Netzentgelt not included — same regardless of provider choice

**United Kingdom (GB)**

- 30-min Agile pricing via Octopus

- Unit: p/kWh (pence)

- Sub-zones GB-A..GB-P available

**Australia (AU)**

- 5-min NEM dispatch pricing

- cheapest\_hours unavailable — no public day-ahead data

- Zones: AU-NSW, AU-VIC, AU-QLD, AU-SA, AU-TAS

**New Zealand (NZ)**

- 30-min NZEM pricing

- cheapest\_hours unavailable — no public day-ahead data

- Zones: NZ-NI (North Island), NZ-SI (South Island)

## Privacy

The following query parameters are sent to https://elecz.com/mcp:

- zone — bidding zone

- consumption — annual kWh (optional)

- heating — district or electric (optional)

**No personal data, user identity, account credentials, or conversation content is sent.**

Full privacy policy: https://elecz.com/privacy

## Data sources

- ENTSO-E Transparency Platform — Nordic + DE spot prices, updated hourly

- Octopus Agile API — GB 30-min prices

- AEMO — AU 5-min NEM prices

- EM6 — NZ 30-min prices

- No API key required

- Docs: https://elecz.com/docs

- Source: https://github.com/zemloai-ctrl/elecz-api

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and minimal: it calls a remote API (https://elecz.com/mcp) and sends zone, consumption, and heating-type parameters to get prices and scheduling advice; it does not require API keys or local installs. Before installing, verify the website/docs and the referenced GitHub repo (https://github.com/zemloai-ctrl/elecz-api) to confirm the implementation and privacy claims. Read the privacy policy to ensure you’re comfortable with sending zone/consumption data (these can be sensitive for some users). If you are concerned about autonomous agent actions, restrict or monitor autonomous invocation so the agent cannot call the remote API without your explicit consent. Note: registry metadata earlier listed no homepage while SKILL.md includes https://elecz.com — you may want to confirm the canonical source.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: elecz Version: 1.9.2 The 'elecz' skill is a legitimate tool for retrieving real-time electricity spot prices and contract recommendations across Europe and Oceania. It operates via a remote MCP server (https://elecz.com/mcp) and explicitly limits data transmission to non-sensitive parameters like bidding zones and annual consumption, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Tags

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions consistently describe a realtime electricity-price helper for specific markets. The declared remote MCP endpoint (https://elecz.com/mcp) and the three tools (spot_price, cheapest_hours, best_energy_contract) align with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to identify a zone, choose a specific tool, and call the Elecz MCP endpoint with a small set of query parameters (zone, consumption, heating). It does not instruct reading unrelated files, environment variables, or transmitting conversation content. It also explicitly says to ask for location if unknown.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which minimizes on-disk risk. The remote API is invoked at runtime rather than pulling arbitrary code/assets during install.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The only data sent to the remote endpoint are zone, optional consumption, and heating type — these are proportional to the service. Note: consumption and location (zone) can be sensitive in some contexts and are explicitly listed as sent parameters.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false; the skill is user-invocable and may be autonomously called by the agent (platform default). The skill does not request system config paths or other skills' credentials.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install elecz
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /elecz
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
