Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative Inc. (VVEC) Data Access Guide

Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative (VVEC) is Oklahoma's third-largest electric cooperative, serving roughly 39,000 meters across five northeastern counties. VVEC runs NISC SmartHub with TWACS smart meters collecting hourly usage, but has not deployed Green Button, an official API, or EDI programs — third-party access today is manual, via data release authorization or a community-built SmartHub downloader.

Interval Data & Smart Meters

VVEC's TWACS (Two-Way Automated Communication System) smart meters collect electric usage hourly over power-line signals and support remote connect/disconnect and outage detection. SmartHub displays hourly consumption graphs, but direct CSV export of 15-minute or hourly interval data is not advertised. Developers have reverse-engineered SmartHub's JSON API to pull 15-minute data, though this is unsupported.

Meter Technology

TWACS smart meters (power-line communication, no cellular/RF dependence)

Electric Granularity

Hourly collection; 15-minute data retrievable via unofficial SmartHub JSON API

How to Download Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative Inc. (VVEC) Interval Data

01Log into https://vvec.smarthub.coop/
02Open Usage / My Usage / Energy Explorer for hourly breakdowns in daily and weekly views
03Look for a Download Data / Export CSV button (availability undocumented)
04If no export exists, call (918) 371-2584 and request 15-minute or hourly interval data in CSV or XML

Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

Green Button Access

Download My Data

Green Button Download My Data is not published by VVEC, and the cooperative is not listed in the Green Button Alliance directory. NISC (the platform provider) received DOE funding in 2012 to build Green Button into SmartHub, and some NISC members are certified, but VVEC has not deployed it as of May 2026.

Connect My Data

Green Button Connect My Data (OAuth-based third-party sharing) is not offered. Customers cannot authorize third parties through a standardized flow; the NISC platform is capable but VVEC has not enabled it.

API Standard: Not deployed (NISC platform capable)

Green Button Alliance Directory →NISC Green Button DOE Grant →

Third-Party API Access

NISC SmartHub publishes no official public API for third-party developers. Independent developers have reverse-engineered SmartHub's JSON API to download 15-minute resolution usage (GitHub: tedpearson/electric-usage-downloader, v2.4.1 as of October 2025). This requires customer credentials, carries account-lockout and ToS risk, and has no SLA — unsuitable for production integrations. Nectar provides API access to this utility's billing and interval data with customer authorization — see docs.nectarclimate.com.

Program

None official — reverse-engineered SmartHub API only

Auth Method

Customer username/password (unofficial); no OAuth or token-based access

How to Register as a Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative Inc. (VVEC) API Vendor

01Prefer the official path: have the customer sign a Data Release Authorization and submit a written request to VVEC
02If prototyping only, evaluate the open-source electric-usage-downloader with explicit customer consent
03Follow NISC announcements for SmartHub feature releases including Green Button CMD
04Confirm roadmap directly with VVEC at (918) 371-2584 or info@vvec.com

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

VVEC publishes no EDI trading partner enrollment procedures, transaction specs, or EDI contacts. Oklahoma is not deregulated, so standard choice-market transactions (814, 810, 820, 867) have limited demand. NISC's enterprise platform may support EDI at the corporate level, but no VVEC-specific documentation exists — confirm by direct inquiry before assuming capability.

How to Enroll in Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative Inc. (VVEC) EDI

01Call Member Services at (918) 371-2584 and ask whether VVEC supports EDI trading partners
02If supported, request the enrollment application and trading partner agreement (legal entity name, Tax ID, DUNS)
03Specify needed transaction sets: 810 invoice, 820 payment, 814 requests, 867 usage history
04Complete technical setup (VAN or direct FTP/AS2/HTTP endpoint) and test message exchange
05Activate production EDI per the agreed schedule

Other Data Access Programs

Pay-As-You-Go (Prepaid Service)

Prepaid electricity program using the same TWACS meters and SmartHub portal; customers monitor balances and usage online and receive low-credit notifications. Primarily a billing service rather than a data access method.

01Contact (918) 371-2584 or download the application
02Enroll the account and fund the prepaid balance
03Monitor balance and hourly usage in SmartHub

Limitations & Considerations

⚠No Green Button Download or Connect My Data; not listed in the Green Button Alliance directory
⚠No official public API or developer portal; only a reverse-engineered community tool with lockout/ToS risk
⚠No published EDI trading partner program; Oklahoma's non-deregulated market limits EDI demand
⚠CSV export of interval data is undocumented; NISC simplified SmartHub export features in January 2024
⚠No utility-confirmed aggregator partnerships; Nectar provides API access to this utility's billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com
⚠No ESPI or OpenADR support published

Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative Inc. (VVEC) Data Access FAQ

How granular is VVEC's interval data, and how do I get it?▾

VVEC's TWACS smart meters collect hourly usage, displayed as graphs in SmartHub at https://vvec.smarthub.coop/. CSV export is not advertised, so for raw interval data call (918) 371-2584 and request hourly or 15-minute data in CSV/XML. Developers have also retrieved 15-minute data via a reverse-engineered SmartHub JSON API (tedpearson/electric-usage-downloader), but that path is unsupported.

Does VVEC support Green Button?▾

No. VVEC has not deployed Green Button Download My Data or Connect My Data and is not in the Green Button Alliance directory. The underlying NISC SmartHub platform is Green Button-capable — NISC received DOE funding for it in 2012 and other NISC co-ops are certified — so it's worth asking VVEC annually about its roadmap.

How can an energy consultant access a VVEC customer's data?▾

The supported path is a written data request: the customer signs a Data Release Authorization, then the consultant submits the request to (918) 371-2584 or info@vvec.com with the account number, requested date range, and intended use. VVEC typically responds in 5-10 business days with billing summaries and available usage data. Credential sharing works but exposes the customer to risk and isn't recommended.

Is there an official API or EDI program at VVEC?▾

Neither is published. SmartHub has no official public API — only a community reverse-engineered JSON interface with account-lockout and ToS risk. EDI trading partner documentation doesn't exist publicly; Oklahoma's regulated market means choice-market transactions (814/867/810/820) see little demand. Direct inquiry to Member Services is required to confirm any EDI capability.

What does Nectar's roadmap support mean for VVEC accounts?▾

VVEC is on Nectar's roadmap for automated ingestion. Today, the practical paths are customer-authorized data requests to VVEC (PDF/CSV billing and usage history) and SmartHub PDF bill collection. Hourly TWACS data exists at the meter, so once VVEC enables Green Button or an export, richer interval analytics become straightforward.
