Introducing the Easy Green Button Connector Solution
We use quality tools to help businesses meet and even surpass regulatory standards and customer needs. Whether you are a small startup or a large corporation, we support the gathering and sharing of digital energy data. Our goal is to enhance your business operations, promote energy efficiency, and drive the adoption of digital and eco-friendly technologies.
What is EZGB?
EZGB SaaS provides third parties and their customers a SaaS to meet market data collection and management needs. EZGB offers a data and user management infrastructure with optional data testing tools to harness third-party data management. This tool was created through lessons learned while helping to create this new market, so you can easily access digitized data using proven techniques. With EZGB you do not need to burden your IT group with complex integrations if you do not want to. We handle the Green Button solutions inside EZGB to manage the 50-plus utility implementations. Our EZGB services engage the utilities' systems as an independent resource for the delivery of digitized energy data.
EZGB's job is to exceed the regulatory requirements and meet the needs of small, medium, and large third parties: to advance their business capability, enable energy and data efficiencies, accelerate conservation and energy efficiency, create economic development opportunities, increase process efficiencies, reduce utility customer care costs, streamline reporting and support DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) as stated by the Ontario government.
