Google PowerMeter , an online doohickey that monitors your habitation ’s force usage in real time , is one of those ideas that really should ’ve caught on by now . Well , it ’s commence to !
Google has announce its first pardner for the project , who either do or will provide their customers with the “ smart m ” necessary for Google thingumabob to work :
- San Diego Gas & Electric ® ( California )
TXU Energy ( Texas )
JEA ( Florida )
Reliance Energy ( India )
Wisconsin Public Service Corporation ( Wisconsin )
White River Valley Electric Cooperative ( Missouri )
Toronto Hydro – Electric System Limited ( Canada )
- Glasgow EPB ( Kentucky )
With more to survey .
Of course , PowerMeter does n’t provide much information that you could n’t get by just reading your m every once in a while , but it does present the data in a slick , easy - to - interpret way that make the effects of power - save measures readily apparent . If it takes a Google analytics user interface to teach people to teach people to ferment off stuff they ’re not using , that ’s fine with me . [ Google Blog — Thanks , Ben ! ]
