Our 'Energy guy on the street' asks: What's a portable energy meter?
Is it a contraption that stores energy that's portable? Does it plug in? How big is it? What do you use it for? Watch our "Energy guy on the street" video to get the answer.
Use a portable energy meter to:
- Find out the exact operating cost of various appliances, from refrigerators to lamps and computers.
- Identify the potential causes of high energy use.
Borrow a portable energy meter at no cost from your local public library. MGE has donated many of these meters to area libraries. Usual checkout period is two to three weeks but varies with the host library. Because the meters are popular, you may want to reserve one ahead of time.
