Yep. Your public utility probably has an app for that. My electricity provider, DTE Energy, posts updates as work progresses. The app allows reporting of an outage, bill paying and more. Another app offered by the utility monitors electricity usage in real time via the smart meter and provides billing info as well. The neatest part of it all: a tool that enables measurement of an appliances kilowatt demand by holding an iPhone next to the power cord.
