Step-by-Step Instructions for the Utility Account Holder (UAH)
Below are the detailed steps the utility account holder (i.e., the utility customer) must take to complete the authorization process.
Step 1: Send your unique Proxy authorization form to the UAH.
Our Sales team will provide this link. Don’t have a link? Contact sale@utilityapi.com
Step 2: The UAH enters their Name and Email and clicks the “Continue to final step” button, redirecting them to PG&E’s Share My Data platform.
Step 3: The UAH will sign in to their online PG&E account using their username and password.
Step 4: On PG&E’s Share My Data platform, the UAH selects the data they want to share and clicks the yellow “Submit” button to complete the authorization.
By default, the UAH will share all available data. We strongly encourage you to communicate with them to keep it this way.
Once the utility account holder clicks the yellow “Submit” button, the authorization process is complete. In minutes, a new authorization will be available in your account via the dashboard or API.
