Built-in capabilities (8)
Returns side-by-side usage figures (kWh and therms), customer counts, and average bills for each region. Use this to identify regional differences in energy consumption, support geographic targeting for efficiency programs, or compare urban vs. rural usage patterns. ZIP codes are comma-separated (e.g., "94102,94103,94104"). Optional dataType and year filters. Compare energy usage data between multiple ZIP codes/regions
Data is available by ZIP code and customer segment. Use this to analyze energy affordability, compare costs across regions, or identify rate impact on customers. Optional zipCode and year filters. Get billing data and average costs from PG&E public datasets
Returns monthly or annual usage figures broken down by geographic area. Use this to compare electricity usage across neighborhoods, identify high-consumption areas, or support energy efficiency targeting. Optional year filter. Get electricity consumption data for specific ZIP codes in PG&E service area
Returns monthly or annual gas usage figures by geographic area. Use this to analyze heating demand patterns, compare gas usage across regions, or identify electrification opportunities. Optional year filter. Get natural gas consumption data for specific ZIP codes in PG&E service area
Data is organized by ZIP code, month, year, and customer segment (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural). Returns kWh for electric and therms for gas. Use this to analyze consumption patterns over time. Optional filters: dataType ("electric" or "gas"), customerType, zipCode (5-digit), and year (YYYY). Get monthly energy consumption data by ZIP code and customer segment from PG&E public datasets
Includes program participation counts, kWh/therms saved, program costs, and cost-effectiveness metrics by program type. Use this to evaluate program ROI, compare effectiveness across initiatives, or identify high-impact efficiency strategies. Optional programType and year filters. Get energy efficiency program savings data from PG&E
Shows total consumption for Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural sectors. Use this to understand the energy consumption distribution across different customer categories. Optional dataType ("electric"/"gas") and year filters. Get energy usage broken down by customer segment (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural)
Shows how electricity and gas usage has changed over multiple years. Use this to identify long-term patterns, growth/decline in energy demand, and seasonal variations. Optional dataType filter ("electric" or "gas"). Get yearly energy consumption trends from PG&E public data
Why OpenAI Agents SDK?

Frequently asked questions
Is any authentication required?
No! All PG&E Public Datasets are completely free and accessible without any API key or authentication. Just subscribe and start querying energy data immediately.
What customer segments are available?
PG&E provides data for four customer segments: Residential (homes), Commercial (businesses), Industrial (manufacturing), and Agricultural (farming). Each segment has different consumption patterns and billing structures.
Can I compare multiple ZIP codes?
Yes! Use the compare_regions tool with comma-separated ZIP codes (e.g., "94102,94103,94104"). It returns side-by-side usage data, customer counts, and average bills for each region, making it easy to identify geographic differences in energy consumption.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
