the "current" value is available in the FBW_STATUS message. It is
measured in main_fbw.c and energy consumption accumulated in main_ap.c.
You can get the value from that message.

We should have an "other sensors" page that has all the sensors not
needed for flight control but for extra info or payload (e.g. the meteo
sensors). Maybe you can start that?
