Hold on a second - how large of a household are we talking? House or apartment? What consumes all that power? Electric vehicle? Work from home?
I'm environmentally conscious (0 cars, 0 pets) but I haven't spent any time measuring and optimising electricity usage.
I've had a look at my own electricity usage every once in a while, now averaging 48 kWh/month (between 38 and 68) for a larger than average apartment for two people.
- Karrot_Kream 3y ago48 kWh / month is amazing! That's 4 kWh / day. Just cooking on our induction burner and instant pot can use up 1 kWh on a day with lots of meal prep.
- djhn 3y agoInteresting. Maybe our brand new kitchen appliances are more energy efficient?
- alex3305 3y agoIsn't 48 kWh/month = ~1.6 kWh/day? That seems impossible. Even 4kWh / day seems impossible for me. I exclusively use electricity, except for heating. My water heater alone consumes about 2kWh/day. Not even talking about cooking, using my computer or watching tv.
