Google’s new Power Meter tool could help households to reduce the amount of electricity they consume by monitoring their energy use. Search Engine giant Google is developing new monitoring tools to help families keep track of the amount of electricity they are using.
Users will be able to monitor the PowerMeter through their computers and other web-enabled devices using a special widget embedded on their personalised iGoogle home page.
The TED 5000 from Energy Inc. is a real-time electricity usage monitor that you can purchase and install yourself, with packages starting around $200. It can run the free Google PowerMeter tool, allowing you to check on your personal home energy data from any device that can access the web.

Wow, that's really interesting. So presumably the meter attaches to your existing supply and connects to the net. What countries is this available in?
