Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Flint's demand schedules carry a demand ratchet: billing demand is the greater of 100% of the current month or 85% of the June-September peak over a rolling twelve months. A single high summer 15-minute demand can therefore inflate demand charges for up to a year. Large accounts (>=300 kW) get a lower energy rate (7.45 vs 8.13 cents/kWh) and similar $6.55/kW demand. Demand charges are modest per kW, so for many accounts energy and the demand ratchet, not peak shape alone, drive cost.

Flint Energies Data Access FAQ
Can a C&I customer get interval (15-minute) usage data from Flint Energies?▾
Not today. Bills show daily kWh and a 13-month comparison, but Flint does not expose 15-minute interval data to customers. For demand-rate accounts, billing demand is derived from the highest 15-minute demand internally. Granular interval data and possible Green Button support are expected after Flint's fiber/AMI rollout, targeted for 2026.
Does Flint Energies support Green Button, a public API, or third-party data platforms?▾
No. There is no Green Button and no public API/developer portal from the utility itself. Flint's privacy policy states it does not divulge customer information to third parties. Third-party access is case-by-case via Business Services with written customer authorization. Nectar provides API access to this utility's billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com.
How is commercial billing demand determined?▾
On the General Service Demand (FGS-25) and Large General Service Demand (FLGS-8) schedules, monthly billing demand is the highest 15-minute demand in the current month and prior eleven months, and is the greater of 100% of the current month or 85% of the peak demand in June-September. This 'demand ratchet' means a summer peak can drive demand charges for up to a year.
What are Flint's commercial and large-power rates?▾
General Service Demand (FGS-25): $45/month, $6.58/kW billing demand, 8.13 cents/kWh. Large General Service Demand (FLGS-8, accounts >=300 kW): $45/month, $6.55/kW, 7.45 cents/kWh. General Service Non-Demand (FSGS-33, 2025): $37/month, 10.97 cents/kWh. All are subject to the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA) rider.
How can a third party access our Flint Energies data?▾
Have the customer download and share bill PDFs, or submit a signed authorization letter to Business Services (1-800-342-3616 / hello@flintemc.com) and request periodic data delivery. Approval is discretionary and typically takes 2-4 weeks; there is no utility-provided automated or API-based option.
