Genability Supports Fast-Growing Green Button Data from the DOE

24 hours after the Green Button initiative was announced in January, Genability Explorer and APIs supported the Green Button XML format, and with good reason.  The two requirements for precise electricity pricing are correct tariff data and timely usage data.  Genability has always had the first part (accurate tariffs) but energy users often struggle to get the second piece (usage). Especially homes.

That’s why we’re so pleased to see that the Green Button standard is catching on.  As part of the President’s comprehensive strategy for a secure energy future, he will outline the steps his Administration is taking to promote the development of necessary infrastructure and accelerate the pace of innovation of clean and cost-effective alternatives to traditional fuels.  On March 22, 2012 President Obama co-hosted an even at Ohio State University to highlight some of the nation’s most advanced energy-related research and development projects. Included in that conversation are the  15 utilities, serving 30 million households, who just announced their support for the Green Button.
