Google is partnering with privately held firm Energy, to provide households with free energy management software called PowerMeter, which will boost energy efficiency.
Google had launched PowerMeter, which is a web tool in February in US to let consumers monitor how much electricity they use at home. But in order to use PowerMeter consumers needed a smart meter installed. Many customers have already tested and used this application. Now, consumers can buy Energy's power-usage measuring device called TED 5000 which costs around $200, and use Google's software on top of it, without ever needing a smart meter.
Even though many companies are now trying to propagate smart meters they still account for a small percentage of all U.S. electricity meters. Technology giants like Google and IBM are shifting into the world of building a smart grid, envisioning a more efficient electricity grid that uses more renewable energy and powers up 'smart' appliances.
Google's partnership with Energy does not include any financial terms. Google is also trying to develop clean technology. Some of its projects include ways to write software to connect plug-in hybrid vehicles to the power grid and a mirror technology that could reduce the cost of building solar thermal plants by more than a quarter.
What do you think guys, should we also have something like this, which helps in saving power.

It has more to do with people who use electricity than the govt. The electricity theft is a big issue. If we will try to fine all the people who are involved than half of the mid cap cities and rural area will be affected. This theft is resulting... |
