It's unlikely that you will find anything that will give you stats on electrical usage. However, if you are interested in automating electrical device to optimize your electricity use.I recommend you look into X10 automation. There is a website x10.com
I use the system to control when my lights, and pool equipment turn on, and I also have a programmable thermostat. It does make a difference on electrical use.
