Is there a 'Power Monitor' for Ubuntu GNOME?

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and there is one thing lacking, a power monitor tool which will display the status, the one in Ubuntu MATE looks like this:

Ubuntu (Unity) also has a similar one, but I can't seem to find one installed by default on Ubuntu GNOME, so is there one that I just haven't found or one that I can install that's made for GNOME, or is not DE specific?

You can find the following power managers in the Ubuntu repositories :

gnome-power-manager
mate-power-manager
xfce4-power-manager

These power managers have the design as shown in your screenshots.

Alternatively you can install the powertop tool from the repositories.

PowerTOP is a Linux tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and
power management.
It reports which components in the system are most likely to blame
for higher-than-needed power consumption, ranging from software
applications to active components in the system. Detailed screens are
available for CPU states, device activity and software activity.
