Customer demand for digital access to their data is growing.
The Green Button initiative provides solutions that empower customers with easy, secure digital access to their energy data.
It provides a standardized format in North America for account holders to authorize downloading or connecting their energy data to help them better understand, manage, and optimize their energy waste to save resources - and money.
The Green Button Download My Data (DMD) method allows utility account holders to access their energy data in a standardized format. For Alectra Utilities customers, this means downloading an industry-standard XML data file of your electricity usage directly either through MyEnergy View or as a Guest. You can use this data to view up to 24 months of your historical electricity usage, billings and customer data.
The Green Button Connect My Data (CMD) method enables utility account holders to authorize the secure transfer of their energy data to approved third parties. The Green Button CMD method is an energy industry standard for enabling access to, and secure sharing of, an account holder's energy data. Because Green Button CMD-based applications use a standardized format across North America, third-party developers can quickly create and offer products, services, and applications that help Alectra Utilities customers like you find new ways to manage and conserve energy.
