I'm using latest builds of xfce (linux mint 17.3) and xfce4-power-information is not shipped by default. Has it been removed? (but man page is shipped!)
I remember a program which was showing which process uses battery. There were table containing number of interruptions and process name. (I'm not sure that that program was named xfce4-power-information)
PS Mint uses debian packages: https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfce4-power-manager

It was integrated into the settings dialog in version 1.3.0.
The settings dialog has been completely restructured for better
oversight. Additionally, xfce4-power-information, a stand-alone
application has now been embedded inside the settings dialog.
I'm not sure why your distro is still shipping the man page - its not part of the 1.4.x source code.

Yes, something similar exists in settings, but there is no processor tab, where are displayed processes which consume power. I was looking exactly for this tab

Xfce has Task Manager (xfce4-taskmanager) for this, or you can just use htop.
MX-23 (based on Debian Stable) with our flagship Xfce 4.18.

are you sure you men Xfce and not KDE/Ksysguard?
anyway, use powertop( https://01.org/powertop/overview ) its the best tool to improve power management

I have meant this.
I don't want to install something form KDE, it grabs a lot of kde dependencies

The old code basically used a dbus call to upower to get this information. The following command will also return it:
upower -w

Does it? I was under the impression that it used (among other things) Ubuntu err, packages - which used Debian Testing. Or Unstable. Or Sid. Or Nancy, lol. Something other than the basic Debian stable repositories. But it's been a while since I read about whatever it is that Mint does use (in addition to its own repositories).
I guess I could check my sources list? Okay, says
http://packages.linuxmint.com
(I sort of figured Mint would qualify for an ".org," lol) for "Main (qiana)" and
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
for "Base (trusty)." This is in a Mint 17.0 setup, so the names may have changed slightly between my version and yours, I suppose. But I doubt Clem would have sneaked in a Debian repository. Especially since he also releases LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). Otherwise, methinks one would sort of defeat the purpose of the other.
I guess you could try adding a Debian repository (or... two?) - since Debian doesn't, AfaIK, have PPAs - but I wouldn't have the foggiest notion as to whether that would be a good idea, a not so good idea, or a disastrous idea.

If the OP didn't install Mint 17.3 but, instead, performed an in-place upgrade of an existing Mint 17.0 (or 17.2 or 17.3) installation, would that account for it? I wouldn't think that a "man" file would be automatically uninstalled without notice by the system, even if conditions meant that the file was no longer installable due to having been removed from whichever specific repository the new version of Mint uses.

Oh, I have mixed up something, I was reading the line "Original Maintainer"
