Plug in. Turn on. Tune up. Google helps consumers check their energy use
Google is developing Powermeter, a website tool that receives information from networked smart meters in homes and lets you see and analyse your energy use. The Powermeter is not yet available to use for your home (Google wants to test the meter on its own employees first) but the company is already looking for collaborators to roll out the device and website in pilot programmes. In the UK, the government has pledged to introduce smart meters into homes and trials have already started in several hundred thousand homes. The final results, not expected for several years, will inform how the meters are introduced and to whom.
