Open Access

Welcome to Open Access

Open Access is a service offered by Nicor Gas and allows access your current (and with documented customer authorization, prospective) customer transcripts, statements and billing information.

Open Access Login

For all Nicor Gas customers, you can request:

  • Transcripts – Complete history of customer usage and utility charges by bill period.
  • Statements – Complete history of bill amounts, payments and account balances.

For transportation service accounts and groups only, you can request:

  • Billing Information – Detailed charges and summary of usage, nominations and storage activity by bill period (accessed by the bill from date). Group queries will only display the summary usage, nominations and storage information.

You can request this information in one of the two ways: Live or Batch mode. Live mode lets you process up to three queries at a time with the results displaying immediately. In Batch mode, you submit queries "batched" together and return later to retrieve and print your query.

Customer Confidentiality

The privacy of our customers' information is a top priority. There are 3 measures used to protect confidentiality.

  1. A valid supplier ID and password combination is required before a user can enter the website.
  2. A PIN that requires all customer inquiries to have the customer's account number or group ID and the account/group's last billed usage. The last billed usage can only be obtained if a supplier is the current bill mailing address or if a customer has been contacted and provided this information. Additionally, the last billed usage amount changes after each bill is issued.
  3. Nicor Gas performs random audits of documented authorization. If any of these validities are violated, access is denied. See our Customer Authorization Policy for more.

Customer Authorization Policy

As a Nicor Gas Open Access site user, you (or your employer) must currently possess customer authorization to receive any data requested. This authorization (i.e. agency agreement, letter from the customer, etc.) must detail the rights to obtain this data and be authorized by the customer.

Nicor Gas reserves the right to take any necessary audit steps it deems appropriate to ensure proper customer authorization has been obtained, including, but not limited to, requesting a copy of the customer's documented authorization, directly contacting the customer and more.

In the event Nicor Gas discovers any violation of the customer authorization rules outlined above or any other confidentiality policies, the violator (individual agent and agent's employer) agrees their rights to use Open Access are nullified and thus, agrees to immediately discontinue all current and future use of the site.
