What is Green Button?
Green Button is a data standard that provides residential, commercial, and industrial energy customers with more choice in accessing electric or natural gas usage data.
Electricity and natural gas customers will be able to download their natural gas and hourly electricity usage data from their utility in a standardized digital format. Customers will also be able to authorize the secure, automatic transfer of this data to Green Button applications of their choice. Green Button applications can:
- Provide you with information on your energy usage
- Give you advice on how you can use less energy to help lower your bills, such as customized energy efficiency retrofit options or switching electricity price plans to get long-lasting savings
