Which energy bill? Monthly or yearly?
- progbits 7mo agoBeautiful thing about percentages...
- oneeyedpigeon 7mo agoYeah, "how much is 10% of your energy bill" would be a much more useful question!
- fragmede 7mo agoabout 10%!
- tbrownaw 7mo agoWell, "yearly", "monthly, in the summer", and "monthly, in the winter" could plausibly all be different numbers.
- latexr 7mo agoIt’s the same thing. Say you have a bill of 120€/year. On average that comes to 10€/month (120€ divided by 12 months). If you have save 10% a month you save 1€, which after 12 months becomes a saving of 12€. Now do that yearly: 10% of 120€ is… 12€.
- citrin_ru 7mo ago10% of saving for July's or August monthly bill will give less than 10% saving for the year as in the winter solar output is lower.
- Hamuko 7mo agoAre you paying for electricity and transfer on a separate schedule or something?
- _2d30 7mo agoSecondly unfortunately
- muskstinks 7mo agoI pay 100 Euros per month energy bill and save 10% of it so 10 Euros per month or 120 Euros per year.
- Markoff 7mo agoare you running bitcoin farm or cook and heat with electricity with 100 eur monthly bill? my yearly consumption for whole household of 4 people is around 1.2MWh (gas cooking, and external grid central heating), which makes like <400EUR per year in Czechia (infamous for high electricity prices across Europe) and already now most of my fees are not really my consumption, but distribution and other stuff, it's even worse with my gas cooking with only 0.5MWh per year, where I paid almost only fixed fees and not the actual consumption, but tried cooking on induction and hated it
- muskstinks 7mo agoNope just a normal server running 24/7, a condens dryer, a gaming rig and working from home (so display, lights and kvm switch running 8/5). 240kWh per month, 35cent per kWh and a base price of 10 Euros.
- pjc50 7mo agoThe average consumption figures used by the UK regulator https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/average-gas-and-electricity-use-explained https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/average-gas-and-electricity-use-exp... are 7.5MWh gas and 1.8MWh for a "small" household, so I guess you're really frugal and/or well insulated?
- Markoff 6mo agoas I said it's excluding external central heating which covers also hot water for shower, so it always comes down what you use for heating to compare, someone use gas, someone electricity and someone is outsourcing it to heating factory (my case) on different bill your link doesn't mention whether gas/electricity are used for heating (including hot water), plus UK houses are infamous for having horrible insulation and I am working from home with big external display (so does my wife) as well for many years, TV is running roughly 5 hours per day, game console around <1hr and that 1.2MWh includes also AC set to 26C when it will get hot, though not spending that much time at home during July/August
