Google announces first PowerMeter partners

Google wants to give consumers near real-time visibility to their consumption and usage patterns via Google's PowerMeter software and utility-supplied "smart meters." The hope here, is that those aware of their energy consumption habits will change them to save money, and in turn, the planet. The initial list of partner utilities represent millions of homes spread across cities and country-sides in the US, Canada, and India have finally been released and are shown below. More companies and cities will likely sign up, so this is a solid start.

• 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)
