description: Con Edison delivers programmatic data access exclusively through the Green Button Connect
  My Data (GBC) program using the NAESB Energy Services Provider Interface (ESPI) standard. Access is
  free for authorized third parties once the underlying customer grants consent through Con Edison's
  GBC authorization portal; there is no API tier pricing. Energy delivery itself is regulated tariff-based
  retail pricing and is not surfaced via developer plans.
notes: >-
  Confirmed against Con Edison's own Share My Data FAQ for Third Party Vendors,
  General Question 6: "There is no cost to use Share My Data." There is no
  metered pricing, no paid tier and no self-service signup — the gate is a
  signed Data Security Agreement and a 30-60 day technical onboarding, not
  money. Third-party responsibilities are governed by the Customer Data Privacy
  and Protection Rules in the Share My Data terms and conditions and by the New
  York Public Service Commission's Customer Data Access Tariff.
