Watching the Electricity Meter
I thought it would be a good idea to see how much electricity my household uses, whilst I could have used a bill to compare to this would be an average and most of our bills have been estimated at some point and would be less accurate. I wont be telling the other two members of the household so that they will continue to use electricity as normal. The idea is so that I can track our daily usage and see how much we use over one week, and then in the second week I will tell them to be more active in conservation and see how much electricity we can save, or not save, so far Saturday has yet to yeild a positive result.I want to track the daily usage for the possible future installation of solar panels to cover our daily energy needs. I will add the daily readings here.

Use a PowerCost Monitor. It will tell you exactly what you are spending in real-time.

Yes, I agree, they are a great way to monitor your electricity usage real-time, and studies suggest you can save 7 to 10% on their electricity bills. As yet I have not decided to purchase a monitor, mainly due to the UK government implementing policy to distribute free monitors starting early 2008.

I found this site in the UK offering similar products, but not as fabulous as the PowerCost monitor;
