What is the Green Button initiative?
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.
Green Button access methods
The Green Button Download My Data® method
The Green Button Download My Data (DMD) method lets utility account holders access their energy data in an industry-standardized XML format. You can use this data with energy management applications and products to examine your historical and present electricity usage, bills, analyze trends, and make informed energy-management choices. Alectra Utilities customers can download their data through My Alectra.
The Green Button Connect My Data® method
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, 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.
Once logged in to My Alectra, you can download your data or connect your data with products, services, and application vendors.
