Zia Natural Gas Company Data Access Guide
Zia Natural Gas Company, a Natural Gas Processing Co. subsidiary, distributes natural gas to roughly 39,700 customers across seven New Mexico service areas plus Wyoming operations. Data access is limited to the Zia Account Access portal for PDF bills and monthly consumption — there are no smart meters, interval data, Green Button, EDI, API, or third-party programs, so C&I teams must rely on customer-shared bills and manual authorization requests.

Interval Data & Smart Meters
Interval data is not available. Zia has not deployed AMI or smart meters — the utility relies on traditional manual meter reading across roughly 33,000-35,000 customers in seven separate service areas. Its 2016 GIS implementation focused on operational mapping, not meter data.

Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.

Third-Party API Access
Zia offers no developer portal, public API, ESPI participation, or OpenADR support. Direct third-party access is fully manual: written customer authorization submitted to the utility, with data returned via email or paper in 5-10 business days with no SLA. Nectar provides API access to this utility's billing data with customer authorization — see docs.nectarclimate.com.

- 03Zia manually extracts and delivers data via email or paper
- 04Submit separate written requests for each month or data period as needed
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
EDI is not documented or available. Zia operates as a local retail gas distributor, not a wholesale energy trader, and supports no 814/820/867/810 transactions, trading partner enrollment, VAN connections, or EDI specifications. Business customers can inquire at 1-800-520-4277, but the expected answer is that EDI is not offered.

- ⚠No formal third-party authorization portal or aggregator integrations; manual requests take 5-10 business days with no SLA.

Zia Natural Gas Company Data Access FAQ
What data can C&I customers get from Zia Natural Gas?▾
Monthly billing data only: current and historical bills as PDF, monthly consumption history, and payment records through the Account Access portal at sb.zngc.com. Zia has no smart meters, so no daily or interval gas usage exists — plan analytics around monthly billed volumes.
Does Zia offer Green Button, EDI, or an API?▾
No. Zia supports none of the standard programmatic channels — no Green Button Download or Connect, no ESPI, no EDI transaction sets, and no public API or developer portal. The only payment integration (Invoice Cloud) handles payments, not data.
How does a consultant get a client's Zia billing data?▾
Through a manual written-authorization process: the customer contacts Zia at 1-800-520-4277, completes a written authorization naming the third party, and Zia delivers billing data via email or paper in roughly 5-10 business days. There is no automated portal, so most teams simply have the customer download and share portal PDFs.
Does Zia have smart meters or interval data?▾
No. Zia relies on traditional manual meter reading across its seven New Mexico service areas and Wyoming operations. There is no AMI deployment, no interval data of any granularity, and no announced plans — its 2016 GIS project addressed operational mapping, not metering.
What does Nectar's roadmap support level mean for Zia?▾
Zia is on Nectar's roadmap — automated ingestion is planned but not yet productized. Given Zia's manual-only data environment, Nectar works with customer-shared portal PDFs and authorization-based requests today, and tracks any future NMPRC data access developments.
