I don't know what HELCO is planning, but my mom in the UK has one for both gas and electricity and they give you a small device you can set anywhere in the house and it tells you exactly how much you are being charged every 30 minutes. I'm not going to go into the pros and cons plus my tin-foil hat needs an upgrade, but it's actually very useful for figuring out costs, and, if you want to be frugal, what you need to do less of.
