AEP installed these here several years back. They started sending everyone these great big monthly usage reports.

I found out that I use more electricity when I'm home, but less when I'm at work.

Brilliant. Totally fucking uselessly brilliant.

Missoula Electric Coop (MEC) began using demand billing in June. I have been able to lower my bill by changing my demand to periods outside of peak times.

MEC uses the app “Smart Hub.” You can see your daily and hourly usage. A lot of info is available.

MEC is probably an exception to the rule.

There are APIs for smart meters, as I've discovered, but they're SAAS and provided by a third party, and have no consumer access.

I don't think AEP provides anything other than what you can view on their website, and I haven't been on that in years. (Checkfree takes care of billing and has done that for at least the better part of 20 years.)
