Out of the box, EZGB provides a solution that retrieves and monitors the collection of meter and bill information from utilities. EZGB also has the capability to troubleshoot data issues with Ontario’s electric and natural gas utilities in the quickest way possible. EZGB removes the burden for our customers to manage each utility system separately.  

Features of EZGB

A customer-branded service that allows all utility account holders to sign in, link, and quickly/easily authorize bill and meter data for ‘third parties’ from all utilities actively offering Green Button in Ontario. Screaming Power has experience with all utility Green Button providers and is onboarded with most of Ontario’s 50+ utilities to collect this data

Our authorization process is straightforward and has been validated by multiple EZGB customers. Once the data is flowing into EZGB (usually within a few minutes), EZGB lets you see the data received. EZGB provides tools to manually download the bill and meter data in user-friendly formats, and you can come back anytime to see the refreshed data (updated daily).

A powerful admin provides logging and troubleshooting tools, including reviewing stored ‘source of truth’ data. Our clients also receive administrative tools and features to automatically have all their data delivered to their own systems.

FAQs

Who are the typical customers of EZGB?

Our EZGB customers come from public, private, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as universities. Our clients include consultants, advisors, energy retailers, system integrators, sustainability companies (e.g., GHG KPI management firms), large multi-site organizations, green generation firms, researchers and the utilities themselves 

What is the typical release schedule for updates?

As a SaaS service that provides our solution under one code base, we do not have a specific release schedule. However, recently we have been releasing updates weekly to manage the changes utilities are making to their systems. The market is evolving quickly, with Ontario utilities frequently fixing and adjusting their systems. We provide updates as required with no effect on our customers. We use a Digital Twin approach, where our team develops, tests, and rolls out new versions seamlessly on the same code base. 

How long does it take to get started with the service?

EZGB, along with training and support, is operational for all Ontario Utility Green Button providers and most utilities. EZGB is in production and continuously adapts to market, utility, and user needs. EZGB has onboarded with over 50 Ontario utilities. Delivering your own customer-branded EZGB instance will take 1 to 3 days, depending on the resource availability of Screaming Power and the material required for branding and content. 

What does support look like and where is the data hosted?

Our support is available from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm EST (the same hours as the utility), although we often provide support after hours and on weekends. Our support team is based in Canada and consists of the same internal team that builds and tests our solutions. This allows us to resolve issues as quickly as possible, including providing utilities with evidence of their operational issues to reduce response time. Our systems run on AWS, a secure 24/7 service hosted in Canada. As part of our support, we report utility system issues and downtimes to the respective utilities to ensure their systems are functioning properly 

What type of training is offered?

Our EZGB service offers training at the beginning and on an as-needed basis to our clients and utility account holders looking to authorize their data for reuse. All training is virtual and designed to meet your needs.
