Per month? Do you live by yourself and not have a computer or cook at home?
With 3 kids and winter time for heaters I’m using ~44/day average. ~26/day during summer.
- punnerud 2y agoAround 2300kWh/months during winter in Norway and 1000 in the summer here.
- wordofx 2y agoThat’s about 76/day so that makes sense for heating. Must be super cold :D
- Yoric 2y agoFor what it's worth, my peak month this year was March at 169 kWh / month. I cook (electric) almost every day, I have a kid and I work mostly from home. Half of that energy is the (oversized) water heater. My winter months were actually a bit lower, but there's collective heating in my building, so that biases my consumption. That's in Paris, France.
- wordofx 2y agoWhen I lived in an apartment in Australia, during winter we didn’t use the heater because it wasn’t so cold, when we moved to a landed house we couldn’t live without the heater! I don’t have any power bills from 20 years ago to know how much we used. But you’ve made me curious.
- Yoric 2y agoYeah, in Paris, for the last few years, in my flat, I have turned the heating maybe 2-3 days per winter.
- ben_w 2y ago50kWh/month is 68 watts; if there's no AC and if heating and cooking is non-electric, I can easily believe that. Even a bit of microwave use won't eat much into that budget, as it's going to be 6-12 minutes per day at 1 kW, or an average of 4-8 watts. Heating is the much harder one to find electric solutions for, but I'm sure there are plenty of examples of the right combination of temperate climates and good insulation/insolation design for that.
- flakeoil 2y ago1000kwh/month in the winter and 350kwh in the summer. 4 people in central Europe. We use electricity for heating the house, warm water and everything else. We have an air-to-water heat pump.
