`urdb_utilities_for_location`

Pack: openei-urdb · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openei-urdb/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/urdb_utilities_for_location for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Find which electric utilities serve a US location, with how many tariffs each has in the NREL rate database, which sectors they cover, and how many of those tariffs are still current. Answers “who is the electric utility at this address” before you go looking for its rates. Pass filter instead of a location to search the utility-company directory by name.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`address`	string	no	US address or ZIP
`latitude`	number	no	Latitude in WGS84 decimal degrees (use with longitude)
`longitude`	number	no	Longitude in WGS84 decimal degrees (use with latitude)
`filter`	string	no	Instead of a location: case-insensitive substring to search utility names in the OpenEI directory
`_apiKey`	string	no	Your own free NREL API key. Optional — the shared DEMO_KEY works at a low rate limit.
