Interval Data & Smart Meters

CPP uses digital radiometer (AMI-like) meters that transmit reads to telecom towers with >99% accuracy, but true 15- or 30-minute interval data is not publicly available. Daily usage estimates and monthly comparisons are available through the MyCPP platform (powered by Brilliency, launched 2017). Historical interval data requires a manual request to CPP, and there is no Green Button XML export or automated API.

Electric Granularity
Monthly via portal; daily usage estimates via MyCPP (Brilliency). True 15/30-minute interval not publicly available.

Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis

CPP commercial pricing is seasonal (summer June-October, winter November-May) and demand-tiered. Large Commercial (523.04) charges higher rates on the first 50 kW of demand and the first energy block, then declining-block energy down to 1.66 cents/kWh, which rewards high-load-factor operation. Demand is measured as the maximum 30-minute interval. Substantial structural discounts are available for primary metering (2%), 11 kV service ($0.05/kW), and customer-owned substation equipment ($0.30/kW). Every bill also carries the Power Supply Recovery charge and Ohio kilowatt tax.

Cleveland Public Power Data Access FAQ

How can a consultant or aggregator get our CPP usage data?▾

CPP has no Share My Data program or API. Obtain a written customer Letter of Authorization (account number, data types, period, purpose) and submit it to Customer Care at 216-664-4600 or cppoperations@cpp.org. Expect 5-10 business days and manual delivery (PDF or CSV). Alternatively, the customer can download bills from the i-doxs portal and share them.

Is interval (15-minute) data available for load analysis?▾

Not publicly. CPP's digital radiometers feed monthly billing, and MyCPP provides daily usage estimates. True 15/30-minute interval data can only be requested manually from CPP and may be limited to what the CIS system can extract.

Why is there no EDI or retail supplier switching at CPP?▾

CPP is a municipal utility with an exclusive, no-choice service territory and operates outside Ohio's deregulated CRES market (served elsewhere by FirstEnergy/Illuminating and AEP). There is no customer switching, CRES enrollment, or standardized EDI 814/820/867/810 for CPP accounts.

How are large commercial customers billed by CPP?▾

Under Cleveland Codified Ordinance 523.04 (Large Commercial), customers with 30 kW to under 10,000 kW demand pay seasonal demand charges ($7.99/$7.28 per kW on the first 50, $6.92/$6.33 over 50), tiered energy (3.31 cents down to 1.66 cents/kWh summer), a reactive charge ($0.20/kVAR over 30), plus Power Supply Recovery and Ohio kilowatt tax. Discounts apply for primary metering, 11 kV service, and substation ownership.

What is the published blended commercial rate?▾

CPP publishes an example commercial rate of $0.123474/kWh (blended, including Power Supply Recovery and kilowatt tax). Actual cost depends on the applicable ordinance schedule (523.03 through 523.048), demand level, and season.
