Kansas Gas Service Data Access Guide
Kansas Gas Service, a division of ONE Gas, is the largest natural gas distribution utility in Kansas, serving roughly 502,000 customers across 360+ communities. Billing data is available through an online portal and mobile app with 13 months of PDF statements; there is no Green Button, public API, or interval data program, so C&I data access relies on the portal, transportation-service electronic flow measurement, and third-party aggregators.

Kansas Gas Service does NOT make granular interval data available to customers. Automated Meter Reading (AMR) devices (Itron/Olamater) have been deployed in phases since 2017 across many communities, but they report on a monthly billing cycle and do not expose 15-minute, 30-minute, or hourly interval data through any portal or API.

- 01Green Button Download My Data is not implemented
- 02Green Button Connect My Data is not implemented
- 03Check the Green Button Alliance directory for future certification: https://www.greenbuttonalliance.org/
Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
KGS C&I customers choose between bundled sales service (GSS/GSL/GSTE) where KGS supplies the gas commodity and delivery on one bill, and transportation service (STk/STt/LVTk/LVTt) where the customer buys gas from a third-party marketer and pays KGS only the regulated delivery charge plus riders. The delivery charge per Mcf falls as you move up in volume (Small $2.8704 > Large $2.1369 > Small Transport $1.8549), making transportation attractive for higher-volume sites that can also benefit from competitive commodity procurement.
Kansas Gas Service Rate Schedule List

|---|---|
| GSS - General Sales Service (Small) | Nonresidential under 200 Mcf/year; $32.20/mo + $2.8704/Mcf. |

Kansas Gas Service Data Access FAQ
Can a C&I customer get interval or hourly gas usage data from Kansas Gas Service?▾
No. KGS reads meters (including AMR devices) on a monthly billing cycle and does not expose 15-minute, hourly, or daily interval data to customers. The most granular data available is monthly consumption shown on PDF statements. Transportation customers with Electronic Flow Measurement (Rider 42) may obtain more frequent measurement data through the transportation desk.
Is there an API or Green Button feed for automated billing data?▾
The utility offers no public API, Green Button Download My Data, or Connect My Data. The automated option is Nectar, which provides API access to KGS billing data with customer authorization — see docs.nectarclimate.com. Otherwise, third parties retrieve monthly PDF statements through the portal.
How does a business choose between sales service and transportation service?▾
Sales service (GSS, GSL, GSTE) bundles the commodity and delivery on one KGS bill. Transportation service lets larger C&I customers buy gas from a third-party marketer and pay KGS only the delivery charge. Transportation is typically economical above ~800 Mcf/year (Small Transportation) and requires meeting GTC Section 10 and EFM conditions.
How many months of billing history can we pull for a facility?▾
The online portal and app retain 13 months of statements. For longer histories, contact Business Services at 800-794-4780 or use a data provider that began collecting earlier.
Does KGS support EDI billing for commercial accounts?▾
There is no publicly documented EDI program. Some electronic transaction capability exists for transportation service (EFM Rider 42). C&I customers needing EDI should call 800-794-4780 and ask Transportation/Business Services about supported ANSI X12 transactions and trading-partner enrollment.
