### Electricity Supplier

The optimisation will also take into account the 'Tariff import' and 'Tariff export' for your electricity. To enable this, first add an 'Electricity supplier asset' as a child of the Optimisation asset. Note that the tariffs are defined as costs. So the 'Tariff import' is normally positive as you pay, while the 'Tariff export' is negative as you earn. You can either set a fixed value for both tariffs, or connect to an API of your supplier, using any of the existing [Agent Protocol options](../agents-protocols/overview.md). For electricity tariffs you can e.g. use the ENTSOE data https://transparency.entsoe.eu/ (for optimising on carbon footprint you can consider https://www.electricitymaps.com/ , see 'Optimisation' for a further explanation).

##### Forecast service with ML forecasting

In case you need forecasted electricity tariffs beyond the time window of the published data by EPEX, you can use the ML forecasting service, which can take into account the historical time series data as well as the influence of forecasted wind speed and solar/cloud coverage. See [ML Forecasting](../services/service-ml-forecast.md) and the [Open WeatherMap Agent](../agents-protocols/openweathermap.md).
