Automate San Diego Gas & Electric Without an API
San Diego Gas & Electric participates in the Green Button Share My Data program, which offers API access to energy usage data. But like other California utilities, accessing it requires completing SDG&E’s formal third-party registration process, obtaining OAuth 2.0 certification, and securing individual customer authorization for every account. For a property manager or CFO who wants billing data in a spreadsheet, this certification path is not practical.
Deck’s AI agent logs into SDG&E’s portal directly and pulls your usage and billing data automatically on a schedule—no registration, no certification, no code.
What Deck handles on San Diego Gas & Electric:
- Pull monthly usage data and billing statements and push them to Google Sheets or your accounting software
- Consolidate energy costs across multiple SDG&E accounts into one report
- Log payment confirmations and due dates to your CRM or property management system
- Monitor usage spikes and send Slack or email alerts
- Download PDF bills and organize them in Google Drive by property
- Track TOU rate impacts and build seasonal cost comparisons for budgeting
