Electricity consumption will vary during the year so it seems fair to give the yearly total to have the actual cost; and you can divide by twelve if your prefer a monthly average.
Meanwhile, if they only gave a monthly figure, one could wonder if it's an average or if it's taken in January or July.
- lostlogin 2y ago> Electricity consumption will vary during the year We heat with a wood burner and so have very flat usage over a year. Heating requirements are lower here in Auckland, New Zealand.
- wiether 2y agoDuring winter the days are shorter so the lights are on more often. People tend to eat/drink more heated things than during summer (think coffee maker and microwave ovens). They also tend to spend more time inside due to the weather so they use things needing electricity (TV, computer, radio...).
- fy20 2y agoMany UK homes have electric heating or use supplemental electric heaters during winter, so the consumption of summer vs winter changes a lot. This is why there has been a big push for offshore wind in the UK, it's an island that has strong winds during winter.
