Cecil knows as well as anybody the difference between energy and power,
Power is the rate of doing work. The electrical unit is the watt
(joule/second). It is also the rate of transmission from source to load.

A wattmeter keeps track of the rate of energy flow, and the watt-hour
meter measures the integral of active power during the integration
interval.

The power company bills you for the energy consumed during an interval
determined by successive watt-hour meter readings.
