Lake Country Power Data Access Guide

Lake Country Power has deployed Aclara AMI meters with Hubble communications across most of its territory, enabling hourly and (collected) 15-minute interval data. Hourly and daily usage graphs are visible in SmartHub, but 15-minute interval data is not exposed through an official customer-facing export or API. Some members use a community-built tool to pull interval data from the NISC SmartHub API.

How to Download Lake Country Power Interval Data via Green Button

1. 01Green Button Download/Connect My Data is not offered by Lake Country Power
2. 02View hourly/daily usage graphs in SmartHub instead
3. 03To obtain 15-minute interval data, contact the cooperative at 1-800-421-9959 (press 5) and request it
4. 04Technical members sometimes use the community tedpearson/electric-usage-downloader tool against the NISC SmartHub API (unofficial, unsupported)

Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

Lake Country Power does not offer a third-party developer API, Share My Data, ESPI/Connect My Data, or aggregator partnerships. Consultants and aggregators must obtain a signed customer Letter of Authorization and negotiate a custom data-delivery method (email, SFTP, or manual download) with the billing department. A community-maintained tool can extract interval data from the NISC SmartHub API on the member's own behalf, but it is unofficial and unsupported.

Lake Country Power's commercial pricing is a seasonal flat energy rate (shoulder/winter/summer) plus a $50/month service availability charge, with no separately published per-kW demand charge for standard General Service. Summer energy is the most expensive at 16.93 cents/kWh. The biggest cost levers for C&I members are shifting controllable load off-peak, enrolling qualifying loads in Energy Wise programs, and (for 25 kW+ average demand) joining the C&I Interruptible Program for a lower rate. There is no supplier choice.
