A·IQ Energy & Utilities | Green Button

Your utility data. Audited.

Green Button (ESPI) is the open standard utilities use to share interval consumption data. Signal ingests it natively, audits every bill against measured demand, and catches the rate-class and meter-multiplier errors that distort total spend.

02 / Capabilities

What it does.

Four functions across ingest, validation, and reporting.

Ingest

ESPI ingest.

Direct OAuth flow with utilities supporting Green Button Connect. Manual XML upload for the rest. 15-minute interval data, all available history.

Audit

Bill validation.

Reconciles billed consumption and demand against measured interval data. Flags discrepancies above a tolerance threshold.

Rate

Rate-class validation.

Models alternative rate classes against your usage profile. Identifies when you are on the wrong tariff for your load shape.

Report

Audit trail.

Every bill, every variance, every rate change logged. Defensible records for utility disputes.

03 / In Practice

How a typical audit looks.

Twelve months of interval data is loaded. Signal models your demand profile against the active rate and three alternatives. The output: total billed cost, optimal rate cost, and potential annual savings line-item.

05 / Security

Your data. Your infrastructure.

On-premise by default. Cloud-deployable when required. Your facility data never leaves your network.

TLS everywhere, secrets in vault, row-level security on every query. Containerized and isolated so one service going down never takes the rest with it.

06 / Reference

Common Questions.

Engineer and operator questions on this capability.

01

Which utilities support Green Button?

Most large investor-owned utilities in the US PG&E, SCE, ConEd, ComEd, Dominion, Duke, Xcel, and many more. Signal handles both Connect (auto) and Download (XML) variants.

02

What about utilities without ESPI?

Manual CSV upload of interval data, plus screen-scrape integrations for portals exposing data without Green Button.

03

How accurate is bill audit?

Within billing-cycle precision. Most variances we flag are real meter-multiplier errors, rate misclassifications, and demand-charge calculation mistakes.

04

Do you take a cut of recovered charges?

No. Signal is a flat license. You keep all recovered cost.

Pair with these.

Audit is best paired with measurement.
