How does EnergyKit represent the 'best' time to use power?

It provides a rating between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 indicates the best (cleanest or cheapest) time to use electricity and 1.0 indicates the worst.

What is the primary purpose of the EnergyKit skill?

EnergyKit allows iOS apps to access electricity grid forecasts and report device consumption, helping users shift their energy usage to times when electricity is cleaner or less expensive.

Can this skill help with EV charger load management?

Yes, it provides specific implementation patterns for ElectricVehicleLoadEvent, including session management and guidance token tracking.

What entitlements are necessary for using EnergyKit?

Developers must include the 'com.apple.developer.energykit' entitlement in their application's entitlements file to access EnergyKit services.

Which iOS version and Swift version does this skill target?

This skill is designed for iOS 26+ and iPadOS 26+ using Swift 6.3 and modern Apple frameworks like SwiftUI.

Mobile Development

Integrates real-time electricity grid forecasts and load event tracking into iOS applications for sustainable energy management.

This skill provides specialized guidance for implementing Apple's EnergyKit framework in iOS 26+ and Swift 6.3 applications. It enables developers to build intelligent energy management solutions—such as smart home dashboards, EV charging controls, and HVAC schedulers—that react to grid electricity forecasts. By leveraging time-weighted ratings (0.0 to 1.0) for grid cleanliness and cost, this skill helps developers implement features that shift or reduce electricity load, submit telemetry via load events, and query historical energy insights to drive more sustainable user behavior.
