To get started managing their Direct Energy account on an Alexa-enabled device, customers just need to enable the skill through the Alexa app or Alexa Skill Store via Amazon.com and say, "Alexa, open Direct Energy."  Direct Energy customers will be able to then initially link their accounts through the Alexa app.
