Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis

JOEMC C&I bills combine a fixed monthly charge, a per-kWh energy charge, a per-kW demand charge for demand-metered accounts (billed on the highest 15-minute average kW), and a Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA) that passes through NCEMC wholesale power costs. JOEMC does not publish the exact dollar values online, so the structure is documented here and exact rates should be confirmed with Member Services.

Jones-Onslow EMC Data Access FAQ

How does a C&I customer get usage data from JOEMC?

Through the Meridian billing portal or mobile app, which show daily usage summaries and 12 months of billing/payment history. There is no Green Button export or API. For raw or automated data, contact Member Services at (910) 353-1940 to arrange a manual CSV export or portal credential delegation with customer authorization.

Does JOEMC offer interval (15-minute) data or an API?

No. JOEMC's Landis+Gyr Gridstream AMI supports interval metering at the grid level, but the consumer-facing product is limited to daily summaries. No sub-hourly interval data, Green Button, or public API is documented.

How are commercial demand charges calculated?

For most commercial customers, JOEMC monitors demand over a 15-minute period and bills the highest 15-minute average (in kW) recorded that month. Demand is reset to zero after each monthly read. Demand charges recover the generation and distribution capacity needed to meet peak load.

Can my facility shop for a competitive electricity supplier?

No. North Carolina is a regulated electricity market with no retail choice for cooperative members. JOEMC purchases wholesale power through NCEMC and is the sole provider of both energy and delivery in its territory.

When did JOEMC last change its rates?

A rate adjustment took effect April 1, 2026 — JOEMC's first kWh rate increase in more than 10 years, driven by roughly $7 million in higher wholesale power costs from NCEMC. The residential basic monthly charge is $35.00.
