Essential Utility Data API Requirements (Part 1): Comprehensive and Accurate Data

Why Comprehensive Energy Data Matters

Reliable energy data isn't just convenient—it's essential. Energy brokers, sustainability managers, and energy consultants depend heavily on detailed utility billing data to inform crucial decisions around pricing, sustainability reporting, and efficiency strategies. A quality data provider must deliver granular consumption data, precise kWh usage details, and comprehensive line items such as energy supply charges, energy delivery charges, and taxes.

Key Data Requirements

To meet stakeholder demands, your provider should supply:

• Granular usage data (interval-level, demand response data)

• Detailed billing line items

• Clear breakdowns of supply and delivery charges

• Accurate historical data for trend analysis
