Jefferson Energy Cooperative Data Access Guide
Jefferson Energy Cooperative is a rural electric membership corporation serving about 36,900 accounts across 11 central Georgia counties. Itron cellular AMI meters have been deployed territory-wide since 2013, but member-facing data access stays basic: an online billing portal and JEC Power Link app with PDF bills, plus manual authorization-letter requests for third parties — no Green Button, EDI, or public API.

No EDI trading partner program is documented for retail suppliers, ESCOs, or aggregators — standard transaction sets (814, 820, 867) are not supported for third-party data access.

Jefferson Energy Cooperative Data Access FAQ
How do commercial customers access billing data from Jefferson Energy Cooperative?▾
Register the account at https://onlinebilling.jec.coop/onlineportal/ to view current and historical bills (12-24 months), balance, and payment history, with PDF downloads. The JEC Power Link app mirrors these features on mobile. There is no CSV/XML export, so energy teams download PDFs and digitize them.
Does Jefferson Energy have interval data despite no Green Button?▾
Yes — Itron cellular AMI meters have been deployed territory-wide since 2013 and collect hourly or daily reads. The data is reachable only through portal usage views or a manual request: call Member Services at (706) 547-2167, ask for hourly interval metering data, provide the account number and a 30-60 day window, and expect 5-10 business days.
Can a consultant or aggregator pull JEC member data automatically?▾
Yes. Nectar provides API access to JEC billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com. The cooperative itself offers no API; direct utility requests need a customer-signed authorization letter submitted to Martha Scott at mscott@jec.coop with your business credentials, with manual PDF or CSV delivery in 10-15 business days. For recurring needs, ask about a master service agreement.
Does JEC support Green Button or EDI?▾
Neither. JEC is absent from the Green Button Alliance directory, and no EDI trading partner program (814/820/867) is documented for third-party access. The SCADA stack uses MultiSpeak internally, but no ESPI endpoint is exposed. Structured exchange requires a negotiated data sharing agreement with CSV delivery via secure FTP or email.
Can JEC members shop for a competitive electricity supplier?▾
No. Georgia's retail market is regulated, and existing co-op members take bundled service from Jefferson Energy with board-set rates filed at the Georgia PSC (Docket 31536). Cost optimization centers on rate schedule selection — including levelized billing and prepaid options — and load management.
