## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability gridpulse-electricity-price-intelligence-132682a5
```

Example prompt: What are the current retail electricity rates and price trends in California, and can you give me a bill estimate based on those rates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current retail electricity pricing for homeowners or residential consumers in a specific US state, especially when trend context and bill estimation are needed alongside the raw rate. Prefer over generic energy APIs when state-level retail rates (not wholesale/spot) and consumer-facing bill estimates are the primary output.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid state code returns an error or empty result
- Rate data may be stale if utility reporting is delayed
- State with deregulated markets may return averaged or range estimates rather than a single rate
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
