## 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 us-electricity-rates-by-state-53192d98
```

Example prompt: What are the residential electricity rates in Texas over the last 24 months, using EIA data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, government-sourced US electricity rate data broken down by state and sector over time. Prefer this over generic energy APIs when you need EIA ground-truth data with per-kWh pricing, MWh sales volume, and customer counts at the state level with historical depth up to 10 years.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'state' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid or unrecognized 2-letter state code returns error or empty result
- Requesting more than 120 months exceeds the maximum limit
- Invalid sector enum value returns validation error
- No data available for the requested period or state returns empty items array
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request

## How this service works

Retail electricity price and sales for a US state by customer sector (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, all), monthly, newest first, from EIA. Returns average price (cents/kWh), sales (MWh), revenue ($M), and customer count per month. Public-domain, live-wrap. More granular than energy.prices (which is the national all-sector benchmark only).

## Output

A JSON array of monthly records, each containing: time period (YYYY-MM), electricity sales in MWh, number of customers, price in cents per kWh, and revenue in million USD. Also includes total record count and source metadata (EIA URL, license, provider name).
