communication and data storage device that provides consumers with secure information
about their total household electricity use and estimated costs so they can make more

consumer total household electricity use and estimated cost data for up to 3 years, and
present it to consumers in near real-time on consumers existing personal computers or on a
smart phone.

up to three years, and present it to consumers in real-time using simple, intuitive PC and
smart phone applications, helping consumers monitor and control their energy use.
 GE's Nucleus with Brillion technology was developed to provide real-time information for
more control over household energy costs and consumption. It serves as the command
center for energy and cost conscious homeowners to make smarter, more informed
decisions.”
 The hand-sized Nucleus energy manager plugs into any standard electrical outlet, and is
designed to wirelessly gather power usage information from your smart meter (which
