I'm in the US (suburbs near NYC) and over the past 12 months we've used 15714 kWh. 5 bedroom house built in the 1950s. With all my electronic toys, our love of air conditioning in the unbearable NY summers, and the tendency for nobody to pay any attention to turning things off, I'm almost surprised it's not higher. Also, we have a Nissan Leaf (electric car) which is responsible for 2500-3000 of that usage. Total electric bills for the past year comes to $2885. I don't think we get enough light here for solar to be worth it, but occasionally I think about it.
