Problem Statement Consumers do not know enough about how, or
where the electricity they purchase is being used. Power companies cannot communicate in real-
time to consumers when power is in short supply. Currently, the power distribution network does
not adequately handle local power generation: it is designed in a vertical fashion.

Project Goals Track how power is used on a circuit-by-circuit
basis. Implement a power “budget” that allows the
consumer to specify goals for power consumption. Alert and/or notify consumers about real-time
concerns involving the power system.
