Utility Xcel Energy and OPower want to see if community shame is an effective deterrent in Minnesota.

The two will randomly select 50,000 homeowners to participate in a Home Energy Reporting program in the St. Paul area. Under the program, the homeowners will get detailed information about their gas and electricity consumption. 35,000 will also get reports with their monthly bill. Along with telling consumers how much energy they consume, they will get tips on how to cut down their energy consumption and how well they do compared to similar households.
