# EIA Renewable Energy Share by US Grid Region

> EIA Renewable Energy Share by US Grid Region is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns the renewable share (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal) of US electricity generation as a percentage of the latest hourly total, broken down by EIA grid region.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://payai.agentstools.dev/energy/renewables
- Price: $0.008/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eia-renewable-energy-share-by-us-grid-region-d77cf3de
```

Example prompt: What percentage of electricity on the Texas grid is currently coming from renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time renewable energy share data for US electricity grids, sourced authoritatively from the EIA. Ideal for energy dashboards, sustainability reporting, grid monitoring agents, or any use case requiring official government data on clean energy penetration by region. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, cited, machine-readable renewable percentage figures.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid region enum value returns validation error
- EIA data temporarily unavailable causes upstream fetch failure
- Stale data if EIA grid monitor has not updated in the current hour
- Network timeout if EIA source is slow to respond

## How this service works

Renewable share of US electricity generation from the EIA grid monitor: solar, wind, hydro and geothermal as a percentage of the latest hourly generation total, by grid region. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.

## Output

Returns the renewable share as a percentage of the latest hourly electricity generation total for the requested US grid region, sourced from EIA grid monitor data. Includes breakdown by renewable type (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal) and the underlying generation totals.
