The Green Button Standard
Green Button Download My Data
Green Button Download My Data 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 through My Alectra. You can use this data to view your historical and present electricity usage, bills, analyze trends, and make informed energy-management choices.
