Home Energy Monitors Now Available

Posted on: Dec-21-2015

Fort Collins Utilities customers interested in learning about their electricity use and saving energy have a new tool at their disposal. Recently launched as part of Utilities' Peak Partners initiative, the Home Energy Monitor program allows customers to check out a small, secure device to track their energy habits.

The monitor provides historical and near real-time tracking of household electric use in kilowatts, kilowatt hours, dollars and cents. Even a simple flip of the lights will change the reading, so it's easy for customers to see exactly where they could be saving. The Home Energy Monitor enables users to:


  • automatically connect to their meter - no electrician set-up required
  • identify high energy users by turning appliances on and off
  • compare power used today with previous days

Launched in partnership with the Poudre River Library District, the monitor is available for check out at all three Poudre Libraries. Residents can borrow the monitor just like a book.

Peak Partners was developed to reduce energy use during costly peak hours when the community's electricity consumption is at its highest.
