Automate Southern California Edison Without an API
Southern California Edison participates in the Green Button Share My Data program, which provides API access to energy usage data. But like PG&E’s implementation, accessing it requires completing formal registration as an authorized third-party data recipient, obtaining OAuth 2.0 certification, and securing per-account customer authorization for every account you want to access. For a property manager or facilities team that just wants bills in a spreadsheet, this process is not a viable path.
Deck’s AI agent logs into SCE’s portal and pulls your usage and billing data automatically with no registration or certification required.
What Deck handles on Southern California Edison:
- Pull monthly usage data and billing statements and push them to Google Sheets or your accounting software
- Consolidate energy costs across multiple SCE accounts into a single property-level report
- Log payment confirmations and upcoming due dates to your CRM or property management system
- Monitor usage spikes and send alerts to Slack or email
- Download PDF bills and auto-file them in Google Drive by property
- Track TOU (time-of-use) rate impacts over time for energy cost optimization
