Automate PPL My Account with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get interval usage for an account” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "selfserve.pplelectric.com/get_interval_usage",
    "input": {
      "account_number": "0000000001",
      "start_date": "2026-11-10",
      "end_date": "2026-11-10"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account_number": "0000000001",
    "intervals": [
      {
        "meter": "M-204118",
        "interval_start": "2026-11-10T00:00:00-05:00",
        "interval_minutes": 15,
        "kwh": 18.4
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

PPL My Account’s own options

PPL's pages describe no API for account holders. In the Energy Analyzer you can export two years of usage to Excel or in Green Button format, one account at a time. Licensed electric generation suppliers get historical and interval usage through the Supplier Portal or EDI at no charge, and other third parties can ask PPL for it by authorization letter, for a fee per account.

Signing in to PPL My Account

PPL My Account asks for your email or username and a password, or lets you sign in with Google, Facebook or Twitter. One web profile can hold many accounts, added or shared through the My Account List. With Fous you sign in once through PPL's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Accounts must be added or shared first
A profile sees only the accounts linked to it. The account holder adds or shares an account from the My Account List, and a shared user can then see detailed usage and pay bills.
Interval length depends on the meter
The Energy Analyzer shows usage in 15-minute or 60-minute increments, depending on your meter. An account with several meters exports one row set per meter.
Electricity costs are not your bill
The Energy Analyzer's electricity costs are the total cost of the electricity used, not the bill amount. They include your supplier's costs if you shop and receive one bill.
The app covers smaller accounts only
PPL's mobile app is for residential customers and small business accounts on the General Service rate. Other business accounts use the website.

Frequently asked questions

Not for account holders, as far as PPL's own pages say. You can export usage from the Energy Analyzer to Excel or Green Button format, one account at a time. Licensed suppliers get usage through PPL's Supplier Portal or EDI, and other third parties can request it by authorization letter for a fee per account.

Use the daily or hourly chart in the Energy Analyzer: pick a date range and export it to Excel or Green Button format. Data shows in 15-minute or 60-minute increments depending on your meter, and you can go back two years.

Your accounts sit together in the My Account List, but usage and balances show one account at a time, switched with Select Account. With Fous, a workflow you build can loop over every account, call the same method for each and email you or post the result to a webhook.

Share the account with them online: they give you their username, and you share from the My Account List. They then see detailed usage and can pay bills. PPL also accepts a signed letter of authorization, for a fee per account.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own PPL online account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
