Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association Data Access Guide

All ~53,958 meters are AMI smart meters (deployed via a SMEPA/Cooperative Energy DOE-funded program) capable of 15-minute interval measurement. However, PRVEPA's SmartHub portal does not officially expose 15-minute interval exports. Hourly usage can be viewed in the portal; CSV export was largely phased out in January 2024.

How to Download Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association Interval Data via Green Button

1. 01Green Button / Connect My Data is NOT offered by PRVEPA as of 2026.
2. 02For interval data, log into https://powernet.prvepa.com/ and view usage graphs (hourly).
3. 03For 15-minute data, call 855-2PRVEPA and request an interval-data export, specifying date range and format.
4. 04Technically advanced users have reverse-engineered the NISC SmartHub API (unsupported by PRVEPA) to pull 15-minute data.

Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

PRVEPA does not maintain a public developer portal or utility-run third-party data API. There is no Share My Data program. The only utility-native programmatic path is unsupported reverse-engineering of the underlying NISC SmartHub API. For supported programmatic access, Nectar provides API access to utility billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com.

How to Register as a Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association API Vendor

1. 01No vendor registration exists.
2. 02Obtain written customer authorization and use account delegation, or have the customer supply PDFs/usage exports.
3. 03For programmatic interval data, community SmartHub tools exist but are unsupported and use customer credentials.

How to Enroll in Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association EDI

1. 01PRVEPA does not publicly document an EDI program for customer data.
2. 02C&I customers requiring EDI (e.g., 810 invoice, 820 remittance) should call 855-2PRVEPA and ask for Commercial/Industrial Customer Service or IT.
3. 03Provide transaction volume, desired transaction sets, and business need to request a feasibility assessment.

C&I bills at PRVEPA are dominated by the kVA demand charge and the monthly Power Cost Adjustment (PCA), which floats above/below a 90.216 mills/kWh base power cost. For the verified Large Power (LP) schedule, the demand charge is $10.25/kVA with a 50% ratchet against the prior 11-month peak, so sustained demand reductions compound over a year. Taking primary metering earns a $0.40/kVA demand discount. Because rates are cooperative-set (not PSC-regulated) and pass through wholesale power cost from Cooperative Energy, the PCA is the main month-to-month variable.
