Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Mohave's February 2026 ACC-approved rate change shifted fixed cost recovery into customer charges (residential +$5.99 to $30.30/month) while leaving residential energy tiers unchanged; small commercial energy rates increased and other non-residential rates held flat. With 15-minute demand measurement and full AMI, C&I members on demand and TOU schedules can use Green Button interval exports to manage billing demand and shift load. The Purchased Power Adjustor passes wholesale power cost changes through to all classes; MEC's blended rates remain among the lowest of Arizona cooperatives (~11.4–11.65¢/kWh average bundled).

Mohave Electric Cooperative Data Access FAQ
How do I get 15-minute interval data for my business from Mohave Electric?▾
Log in to SmartHub (mohaveelectric.smarthub.coop), open the My Usage / Usage Analysis tab, and click 'Green Button Download My Data.' Select a date range — up to 14 months — and download the zipped NAESB ESPI XML file containing 15-minute interval data. The file can be imported into any Green Button-compatible analytics tool.
Can a third-party energy platform pull our Mohave Electric data automatically?▾
Not via OAuth or API — Mohave has no Green Button Connect My Data program, developer portal, or aggregator partnerships. The practical options are member-exported Green Button XML files shared with the vendor, Member Services authorization for account access at (928) 763-1100, or coordination through vendors that already integrate with the NISC SmartHub/iVUE platform.
What C&I rate schedules does Mohave Electric offer?▾
Small Commercial Service in three variants — energy-only (SCS-E), demand (SCS-D), and time-of-use (SCS-TOU), plus an optional prepaid version (PSCS-E) — Large Power Service (L) and Large Power TOU (LTOU) for big loads, and Large Irrigation Pumping (IP/ITOU) for agricultural pumping. Demand is measured over 15-minute intervals. Schedule PDFs are on the rates page; EIA-derived average effective rates were about 10.65¢/kWh commercial and 8.19¢/kWh industrial in 2023.
What changed in Mohave Electric's 2026 rate adjustment?▾
The Arizona Corporation Commission approved the 2025 rate case on February 4, 2026, effective with March 2026 bills. The residential customer charge rose $5.99 (from $24.31 to $30.30/month) with residential energy tiers unchanged. Small commercial energy rates increased, customer charges adjusted slightly for business, solar, and demand members, and other non-residential rates were unchanged.
Can businesses in Mohave's territory shop for a competitive electricity supplier?▾
No. Arizona does not have retail electric choice, and Mohave Electric is a vertically bundled, member-owned cooperative. All members take bundled service under ACC-approved rate schedules. Cost management comes through rate schedule selection, demand/TOU optimization, and on-site generation under the SunWatts/DGS programs.
Does Mohave Electric support EDI for invoice delivery or usage data?▾
No EDI capability is publicly documented — typical for a cooperative of this size in a non-choice state. Businesses needing recurring data should use SmartHub multi-account management plus Green Button exports, or arrange custom reporting through Member Services at (928) 763-1100 / memberservices@mohaveelectric.com.
