NU Expands Commitment to Green Button Initiative

Business Wire
Building on the popularity of the “Green Button” tool currently
available to its NSTAR Electric customers in Massachusetts,
Northeast Utilities is rolling out the energy-saving initiative at
all six of its utility companies in Connecticut, Massachusetts and
New Hampshire. Green Button – an industry-led effort responding to
a White House call to action to provide national uniformity for how
customers can securely access their own energy usage data – will be
available to all of NU’s more than 3 million residential and
business customers by the end of this year.
“In the six months since we introduced it, Green Button has
helped thousands of our Massachusetts customers easily access their
electricity use information with the click of a mouse,” said Tom
May, President and CEO of Northeast Utilities. “Knowledge is power
when it comes to customers making changes to their energy use
behavior and Green Button is making it easy for folks to gain that
knowledge.”
All customers will soon find the Green Button on NU’s subsidiary
company websites – Connecticut Light and Power; Yankee Gas; Western
Massachusetts Electric; NSTAR Electric; NSTAR Gas; and Public
Service of New Hampshire – which utilizes the common-sense idea
promoted by the White House that electricity customers should be
able to securely access their own detailed energy usage information
from their utility’s website.
A number of companies are already developing web and smartphone
applications and services that can use Green Button data to deliver
customized energy-efficiency tips, provide easy-to-use tools to
size and finance rooftop solar panels, and conduct virtual energy
assessments that can cut costs for building owners and speed the
initiation of retrofits.
