There's a clamp around one of the cables coming out of the the electicity meter, and a little transmitter. You can see a picture of that here.

The white unit above recieves that signal and dsplays how many watts are being used in the house right now, as well as all the other data it displays above (cost per day, per month, kilowatt hours used recently, graph of yesterday's usage, date, temp, etc). There's also a data cable connecting it to the computer, so I'll be generating more detailed graphs soon.

The Current Cost website doesn't currently make it easy. I actually got mine from a friend at work. Apparently you can can one online from the Scottish/Southern Electric the eco gadget shop though (here's a direct link).
