Green Button®
The Ontario Ministry of Energy introduced a new requirement that as of November 1, 2023, most regulated Ontario electricity and natural gas utilities must provide their customers with access to their energy usage data Green Button® standard.
Enbridge Gas has implemented this requirement, enabling you to both download your energy data in an industry-standard XML format and share this data with third parties that you authorize.
Download my data
The Green Button format offers our residential and business customers a way to download their energy data to gain better insight into energy waste and inefficiencies, allowing you to save money and reduce demand on the energy system.
As an Enbridge Gas customer, you have access to download up to 24 months of energy data. The download process generates an .xml file containing your account details and/or a separate .xml file containing your billing/usage data based on the parameters you specify.
To download your energy data today, sign in or register for My Account and navigate to the Share My Data section. From here you can specify account(s) and time period parameters for the accounts and data categories selected.
Share my data
Customers can securely provide third parties access to their natural gas energy data using the “Share My Data” functionality.
We recommend customers research third parties prior to authorizing the sharing of their data with them. Enbridge Gas will ensure that the registered third party can accept your data securely before releasing your information. The third party(s) will only be able to retrieve the data categories that customer(s) have authorized.
