Green Button

The Green Button was created in response to a challenge issued by the White House to give people timely access to their energy data. There are now two easy ways to access your electricity use data so that you can analyze your energy use.

Green Button Download My Data

Green Button Connect My Data allows you to send your energy use data to third party applications (apps). These apps are designed to help you make choices about how much energy you use by providing graphs and tools that can help you find ways to save energy and lower your bill.
