Renewable Energy
get_renewable_energyRetrieve US state renewable-energy capacity, fuel mix, and top projects to size PPAs or site data centers. Add state and coordinates for nearest projects within 50 miles.
Instructions
FRONT DOOR CHECK — if the question pairs renewables with siting, grid headroom or a market shortlist ("where can I put a 24-7-CFE campus"), call execute_plan(intent="<the user's question, unchanged>") instead. If you want one state's renewable fuel mix or PPA sizing input on its own, get_renewable_energy IS the right call — one round trip, and routing it through the planner would only cost steps. Use when siting a renewable-powered data center, sizing a PPA, reading one US state's utility-scale fuel mix, or assessing RE100/24-7-CFE feasibility. Example: "What is Texas wind+solar capacity and how much utility-scale solar is operating today?" — get_renewable_energy energy_type=solar state=TX. Params: energy_type one of "solar" | "wind" | "combined" (omit for all); state 2-letter US code (e.g. TX, VA, AZ); lat+lon (optional) for the nearest projects within 50mi. Returns: {capacity_mw_total, by_fuel: {solar_utility, solar_rooftop, wind_onshore, wind_offshore}, capacity_factor_pct, top_projects[{name, mw, operator, cod}], state_rps_target_pct, source: "EIA-860 + state RPS"}. Do NOT use for live grid generation (use get_grid_data) or non-US (use get_grid_scoreboard for EU/UK/AU/TW).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | No | Optional latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90) to find nearest projects within 50mi | |
| lng | No | Alias for lon — either name works | |
| lon | No | Optional longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180) to find nearest projects within 50mi | |
| state | No | US state abbreviation, e.g. TX, VA, AZ | |
| latitude | No | Alias for lat — either name works | |
| longitude | No | Alias for lon — either name works | |
| energy_type | No | Renewable type: "solar", "wind", or "combined"; omit for all |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quota | No | Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available. | |
| _entity | No | Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest. | |
| citation | No | Machine-readable citation: how to attribute DC Hub (dchub.cloud) for this payload. Normally an OBJECT {source, url, license, cite_as, retrieved_at}; a bare string is accepted and carries the attribution line itself. | |
| provenance | No | Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing. | |
| _front_door | No | In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan. | |
| _return_loop | No | Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed. | |
| site_evaluation_handoff | No | Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries. |
