The U.S. Energy Department’s Apps for Energy competition is offering $100,000 to create innovative applications that help utility customers learn about their electricity use. The competition is based on Green Button, an open standard for sharing electricity data.

On May 15th, Zerofootprint shared VELObill, an app that takes all of the confusing information on your electric, gas and water bills and turns it one easy-to-read, useful resource.
