Jackson Energy Authority (JEA) Data Access Guide

JEA has deployed Tantalus TRUSense fiber-connected smart meters across 100,000+ electric, water, and gas endpoints over its utility-owned FTTH network. Commercial/industrial demand is recorded in 30-minute intervals, but the portal shows only aggregated daily and monthly usage — granular interval data is not downloadable and must be requested through JEA's Economic Development department.

How to Download Jackson Energy Authority (JEA) Interval Data

1. 01Log into the JEA portal at https://www.jaxenergy.com/
2. 02Open the Usage Information or Energy Usage section

4. 04C&I customers: contact JEA Economic Development at (731) 422-7325 to request custom 30-minute interval data exports

Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

JEA publishes no developer API and has no Share My Data program; the UtilityNexus mobile platform and CSA Enterprise Billing System are internal only. Nectar provides API access to this utility's billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com. For direct utility delivery, third parties must obtain written customer authorization and negotiate custom data delivery (quarterly CSV/Excel, VPN/SFTP, or monthly transmission) with JEA.

EDI is not documented as available.

A direct inquiry to (731) 422-7500 is required to determine whether trading partner enrollment is possible.

JEA publishes rate schedules on its website covering tiered rates and demand-metered commercial service. Peak demand for C&I customers is calculated from the highest 30-minute interval in the billing period, making demand management the primary cost lever. Time-of-day rate options may apply to some commercial accounts.
