A PC computer monitors the energy consumed at a plurality of local stations placed behind the electrical meter of the utility company for individual billing of the local users, a bidirectional communication line being used therebetween. A command from the PC computer causes at each station the totalized energy to be stored, and thereafter the PC computer derives individually the results for separate estimations and central billing.
