📊 Where to Get Your Green Button Data
Most utility companies provide a "Green Button" or "Download My Data" feature in their customer portal:
- Log into your utility company's website
- Look for "Green Button", "Download My Data", or "Export Usage Data"
- Click the green button - an XML file will automatically download
- Upload that XML file here to convert it to CSV format
Common locations: Account Dashboard, Usage History, or Billing sections

Field Explanations
value: Energy consumption value (integer, use power_multiplier for conversion)
cost: Cost value (unit depends on utility/currency)
uom: Unit of measure (e.g., 'Wh' = Watt-hours, 'kWh' = Kilowatt-hours)
power_multiplier: Power of 10 to apply to raw values
-3 = ÷1000, 0 = no change, 3 = ×1000
-3 = ÷1000, 0 = no change, 3 = ×1000
calculated_value: Convenience field: value × 10^power_multiplier
Actual energy consumption in the unit specified by UOM
Actual energy consumption in the unit specified by UOM
calculated_cost: Convenience field: (cost × 10^power_multiplier) ÷ 100
Cost in dollars if currency is USD, otherwise may be incorrect
Cost in dollars if currency is USD, otherwise may be incorrect

💡 Real Example from Your Data
Original Data: value = 21021, cost = 256347, power_multiplier = -3, uom = "Wh"
Value Calculation: 21021 × 10-3 = 21021 × 0.001 = 21.021
Cost Calculation: 256347 × 10-3 = 256347 × 0.001 = 256.347, then 256.347 ÷ 100 = $2.56
Results:
- calculated_value: 21.021 Wh (Watt-hours) of energy consumed
- In kWh: 21.021 ÷ 1000 = 0.021021 kWh
- calculated_cost: $2.56 (assuming USD cents)
