Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) Data Access Guide
The Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) is a not-for-profit tribal enterprise of the Navajo Nation serving roughly 43,300 electric customers (plus water, wastewater, natural gas and off-grid solar) across 27,000 square miles of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. While NTUA has deployed about 40,000 AMI smart meters, programmatic data access remains limited — no Green Button, API, or EDI programs exist today.

NTUA deployed ~40,000 residential smart meters under a DOE Smart Grid Investment Grant, with a 900-MHz radio network and an MDMS head-end. However, no interval-level data (15-minute, 30-minute or hourly) is exposed to customers or third parties — the portal shows only monthly usage summaries and trend graphs. Customers can request data extracts by phone, with no guaranteed format or turnaround.

Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
NTUA's C&I structure splits into a tiered General Service rate — where the first 25 kW of demand is free and marginal energy falls to 8.40¢/kWh at volume — and flat demand/energy industrial schedules. Large Power Service carries a heavy $16.50/kW demand charge with a 12-month ratchet and 1,000 kW floor, so demand management and power factor correction dominate the savings opportunity. All bills swing with the purchased power cost adjustment against the 2025 $0.0800/kWh baseline.
Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| General Service | Commercial, industrial, institutional; demand metered at ≥25 kW |
| Large Power Service (Primary) | ≥1,000 kW at primary voltage, 36-month minimum contract |
| Oil and Gas Field Service | Oil & gas installations, 12-month minimum contract |
| Irrigation Service | Crop irrigation pumping |
Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) Rate Features & TOU Details
- First 25 kW of demand is free on General Service; tiered demand drops from $6.00 to $4.00/kW
- Declining-block energy on General Service (11.00¢ down to 8.40¢/kWh)

- Power factor penalties below 85% (General/Oil & Gas) or 90% (Large Power/Irrigation)
- Purchased Power Cost Adjustment against $0.0800/kWh 2025 baseline applies to all schedules

- ⚠Base tariff documents date to 2007 per WAPA filing; confirm current charges with NTUA before contracting
Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) Data Access FAQ
Can my energy consultant pull our NTUA usage data through an API or Green Button?▾
Not through the utility itself — NTUA offers no API or Green Button Connect My Data. Nectar provides API access to NTUA billing data; see docs.nectarclimate.com. The direct utility path is manual: the customer signs a written authorization letter, the consultant submits it with a letterhead request to the customer's NTUA district office (or via 1-800-528-5011), and NTUA may — at its discretion — release PDF statements or a CSV extract, typically within 10-15 business days.
Does NTUA support EDI billing (810/820/867) for multi-site commercial customers?▾
No. NTUA does not support EDI for any service (electric, gas, water or wastewater) and is not on the DOE's list of utilities offering EDI. Multi-site customers must manage accounts through the myntua.com portal or arrange manual statement delivery; ACH/e-check payment is available through the portal.
Which NTUA rate schedule applies to my commercial facility?▾
Most C&I loads fall under General Service, which requires a demand meter at 25 kW or more and bills tiered demand (first 25 kW free) and declining-block energy. Primary-voltage loads of at least 1,000 kW with a 36-month contract qualify for Large Power Service ($16.50/kW + 4.25¢/kWh), and oil and gas installations have a dedicated schedule ($12.00/kW + 5.20¢/kWh).
Can I get 15-minute interval data even though NTUA has smart meters?▾
Not through any self-service channel. NTUA's ~40,000 AMI meters feed an internal meter data management system, and commercial demand is billed on maximum 15-minute integrated demand, but the customer portal exposes only monthly usage summaries. You can call 1-800-528-5011 to request a daily or hourly extract; availability, format (likely CSV or PDF) and turnaround are not guaranteed.
What is the Purchased Power Cost Adjustment on NTUA bills?▾
Every NTUA electric rate schedule includes an adjustment that passes through differences between actual purchased power costs and a baseline set annually by the Management Board — $0.0800/kWh effective January 1, 2025. When NTUA's wholesale power and transmission costs exceed the baseline, bills rise; when they fall below it, bills are credited.
How does the power factor penalty work on NTUA commercial rates?▾
On General Service and Oil and Gas Field Service, if your power factor drops below 85%, NTUA bills 85% of the kVA and kVAh used instead of the metered kW/kWh. Large Power and Irrigation schedules use a 90% threshold. Capacitor banks on motor-heavy loads typically eliminate the penalty with fast payback.
