Does the power meter we get billed on measure real power or apparent power?

That is a subject of great debate, the power company until recently had no way to measure phase angle of individual houses and had to make estimates based on the pole transformers. Smart meters make this more plausible. Phase correction can also be introduced which again has a whole new set of arguemenets about whether that is in fact a help or not.
