A Generative AI Framework for Intelligent Utility Billing CO 2 Analytics and Sustainable Resource Optimisation

The accelerating convergence of smart metering, generative artificial intelligence, and quantum-inspired combinatorial optimisation is reshaping how energy utilities manage physical infrastructure, customer engagement, and environmental accountability

The accelerating shift toward low-carbon power systems, together with the widespread adoption of behind-the-meter technologies such as rooftop solar and electric vehicles, is placing new operational and analytical demands on electricity grids. At the same time, smart-grid research increasingly relies on machine learning (ML), yet progress is constrained by limited access to high-resolution household energy data due to privacy concerns, regulatory barriers, and collection costs. This work presents WattCouncil, a data-generation framework in which household electricity demand is generated by a council of Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents operating in specialized roles to generate, audit, and validate structured energy scenarios under explicit cultural, temporal, and physical constraints. Rather than acting as static predictors, these agents serve as adaptive decision-makers within a governed pipeline. Motivated by studies highlighting the importance of contextual factors in energy use, our framework produces context-sensitive daily routines through a guided reasoning process that incorporates household composition, temporal factors, and environmental conditions. We evaluate the generated profiles against the detailed CER dataset, which contains over a year of load measurements for 4232 households together with survey-based socio-economic information. We further assess the consistency of the framework through ablation studies. Source code is available at https://github.com/Singularity-AI-Lab/wattcouncil

Agentic AI systems act through tools and sub-agents, yet the controls meant to bound their financial and environmental cost still sit on dashboards evaluated beside or after execution. Green SARC applies the SARC governance-by-architecture framework -- four enforcement sites in the agent loop -- to FinOps and GreenOps, contributing the theory of what to enforce and how to predict it. We report four policy-independent results. (i) The unconstrained "State Snowball" is $Θ(n^2)$ in loop depth; on 3,000 real multi-step plans (SWE-rebench) it holds on 100%, with median curvature $\hat{c}_2=216$ exceeding the linear-accretion prediction $p/2=134$ -- real plans accrete faster than the model. (ii) On real residuals the Normal-$σ$ gate under-covers (92% at nominal 95%); split-conformal calibration holds (95.2%). (iii) A soft Lagrangian penalty tuned to the budget in expectation breaches it on 91.5% of seeds; the architectural gate breaches 0%. (iv) Under binding budgets the gate's over-budget incidence is 0% on synthetic and real (BurstGPT) arrivals. End-to-end token/USD/carbon savings (47--55%) are real but policy-dependent in magnitude -- set by a scope-cap knob, not by gate rejections. The library is open-source, dependency-free, and ships a regeneration script for every cited number.
