See the Navopache Electric Cooperative Rate Schedules & Tariff Guide →Interval Data & Smart Meters
NEC has deployed AMI smart meters (Sensus FlexNet-class) territory-wide and collects 15-30 minute interval data internally, but customer-facing access is limited. SmartHub shows daily and hourly usage; 15-minute exports generally require a manual Member Care request.
How to Download Navopache Electric Cooperative Interval Data via Green Button
- 01No Green Button Download feature is present in SmartHub
- 02Request interval data manually from Member Care (928-368-5118 x230), specifying account, date range, and interval
Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

NEC publishes no public developer API or portal. Internally it uses the MultiSpeak interoperability standard (listed integrator) for meter reading, MDM, billing, and outage functions, but these are not exposed to third parties. Reverse-engineered SmartHub API tools exist in the community but are unofficial.

Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
NEC's C&I rates (ACC Decision 81585, effective Jan 1, 2026) combine a fixed monthly service availability charge, a kVa demand charge on the maximum 15-minute demand, and tiered energy charges that step down after 300 kWh/kVa. Primary service carries a higher fixed charge ($275 vs $161.25) but a slightly lower demand charge and lower energy rates, rewarding high-load-factor customers who can take primary voltage. Schedule 12 unbundles charges by delivery level for the largest loads.
Navopache Electric Cooperative Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Schedule 2-SS Secondary Standard | C&I >50 kVA secondary voltage |
| Schedule 2-PS Primary Standard | C&I >50 kVA / >750 kVA primary voltage |
| Schedule 2 Time-of-Use (ST/PT) | C&I >50 kVA electing ToU |
| Schedule 12 Large C&I | Above 1,000 / 2,000 kVA |
Navopache Electric Cooperative Rate Features & TOU Details
- kVa demand charge on the maximum 15-minute demand

Navopache Electric Cooperative Data Access FAQ
Can we get 15-minute interval data for our C&I facility?▾
Yes, but not via self-service. NEC's AMI collects 15-30 minute interval data, and SmartHub shows daily/hourly usage. For true 15-minute interval exports, submit a request to Member Care (928-368-5118 x230) with the account, date range, and interval; expect 2-5 business days and CSV/Excel delivery.
How does a consultant get authorized to access a member's data?▾
The member completes the Authorization to Act On Behalf of Member of Record form (Electric Service Policies Section 2.26), available on NEC's Applications & Forms page, and submits it to Member Care. Processing takes 5-10 business days. Access is request-based, not automated.
Which Arizona rate schedule applies to our commercial facility?▾
Above 50 kVA, NEC's Schedule 2 (Commercial & Industrial) applies, with Secondary or Primary service and Standard or Time-of-Use options. Large loads use Schedule 12 (above 1,000 kVA / above 2,000 kVA). Your transformer capacity and service voltage determine the schedule; all are under ACC Decision No. 81585 effective Jan 1, 2026.
Is there a public API or Green Button for automated data access?▾
No. NEC has no public developer API, Green Button Download My Data, or Connect My Data. It uses MultiSpeak internally and can negotiate EDI/MultiSpeak with large C&I and suppliers case-by-case via Engineering Services (928-368-5118 x191).
Can large C&I customers in NEC's territory choose a competitive supplier?▾
No. Arizona's Retail Electric Competition Rules are on hold and the ACC has not authorized any competitive Electric Service Provider in NEC's territory. C&I customers take bundled service from NEC; only the unbundled rate components for Direct Access are defined in tariff but unused.
