Orlando, FL: Electricity customers in the London area now have an easy way to access their electricity consumption data in electronic form. London Hydro Inc. and the Green Button Alliance (GBA), which fosters the development, compliance, and wide-spread adoption of the Green Button standard, announced February 9 that London Hydro is the industry's first utility to complete the Green Button Alliance's Download My Data (DMD) Testing and Certification process for electricity, natural gas and water usage data. The utility will now be able to provide this information to its customers enabling them to easily access and efficiently manage their own resource consumption while opening opportunities for application vendors.
The Green Button Download My Data (DMD) standard enables home owners and property managers to download their electricity usage data from an energy service provider's website in an industry-standard XML data format. Energy customers can utilize this data to view their historical and current energy usage, analyze trends, and make informed energy-management choices. London Hydro's Green Button DMD certification and "Green Button Certified DMD" mark on its website assures customers and application developers that they can rely on the data they receive and increases consumer engagement by empowering them with solutions that work-together seamlessly.
