Real-time PC power consumption monitor for Windows with electricity cost tracking
Free Windows app displaying live PC power usage and electricity costs in real time, with per-component breakdown and local history recording.
Overview

The PCWattVault homepage
PCWattVault is a free Windows application that monitors your PC's power consumption and electricity costs in real time. It measures live watts from your hardware, calculates costs using your own electricity tariff including night rates and consumption tiers, and maintains a permanent local history of all data. The app provides per-component breakdowns showing which parts of your PC consume the most power, per-app power usage analysis, and forecasts for monthly costs. All data is stored locally with no cloud sync or telemetry, and the interface is blocked from making network requests. The app is available for Windows 10 and 11, works continuously in the background and system tray, and includes features for battery health monitoring on laptops, Windows power settings tracking, and optional real measurements via compatible smart plugs or power supplies.

Buyer questions
Why does the CPU show "~" or 0 W?
Reading real CPU package power on modern Windows needs a driver-backed sensor source. Install the free LibreHardwareMonitor from its official GitHub release page, run it as administrator, and turn on Options → Remote Web Server. PCWattVault will pick it up within seconds and the tildes disappear.
What data does PCWattVault collect and store?
PCWattVault stores only raw per-second samples that never go to disk. Only hourly aggregates per component category and daily totals per app are recorded locally. Which apps ran never leaves your PC. Smart-plug credentials are encrypted with Windows DPAPI.
