Abstract: This project describes the digitization of load energy usage readings over the internet. The proposed system design eliminates the involvement of human in electricity maintenance. The user can monitor energy consumption in watts from a webpage by providing a channel id for the load. The Webpage utilizes the THINGSPEAK analytics to analyze the energy usage to give more detailed description and visualization of the energy usage statistics. Wi-Fi unit performs IOT operation by sending energy data of the load to the webpage which can be accessed through the channel id of the device. In the proposed system, consumer can do power management by knowing energy usage time to time. This proposed system utilizes an Arduino microcontroller. The unit which is generated can be displayed on the webpage through the Wi-Fi module. This paper proposes the detection of energy theft using Arduino and GSM module. LCD is provided to display the data of power usage and also the power being theft i.e., the difference between the consumers load and the theft load which is sent to the GSM module.

• Real time energy monitoring from anywhere in the world. Since the project is connected to internet and as long as you have access to internet, you can read the data in real time anywhere.
• Real-time energy consumption data feedback to the power plant to efficiently generate power. In real life power plants need to adjust the production of power as per consumer’s demand in real-time. If electric power companies produce less power than the demand, blackouts will occur and if they produce more power than the demand, voltage on the grid will rise to dangerous levels and protection systems will kick-in and blackout will occur (also here). With real time data the power companies can manage the power generation efficiently with zero to minimal blackouts.
• No need for manual labor for collecting monthly power consumption data on individual houses or industries and power generation companies can bill the customers directly.
• Individual consumers can keep track of their energy consumption and may able to cut down power consumption to save on the bills.
