Utility Rate Plan Exchange
An open semantic standard for representing and exchanging utility customer rate plan data in a structured, machine-readable format
An LF Energy Project
The Problem
Utility rate plans are locked in PDFs and proprietary formats — impossible to process automatically or compare across utilities.
The Solution
URPX defines a shared RDF/OWL ontology that transforms rate plan data into structured, interoperable, machine-readable semantic graphs.
The Impact
Enables automated rate comparison, accurate bill simulation, DER optimization, and regulatory compliance tooling across the industry.
Semantic Web Native
Built on RDF, OWL 2, and SHACL. Classes, properties, and relationships are formally defined and machine-readable.
Standards Aligned
Maps to Green Button, LF Energy CDS, IEC CIM, and schema.org. One standard, many integrations.
LF Energy Project
Community-developed with working group oversight and supported by LF Energy. Published under open licenses: W3C Document License, CDLA-Permissive-2.0 and Apache-2.0 by file category.
Milestones
URPX accepted as LF Energy project
URPX was formally accepted as a project supported by LF Energy at the Technical Advisory Council meeting, bringing community infrastructure and visibility to the standard.
