The US state of Louisiana had the highest annual electricity purchases per residential customer at 14,774 kWh and the US state of Hawaii had the lowest at 6,178 kWh per residential customer. [1] As of 2008, in an average household in a temperate climate, the yearly use of household energy is comprised as follows:
Data in this table are from Ember and are for 2023 unless otherwise specified. [1] Includes some dependent territories.Total consumption figures are in terawatt-hours while per-capita figures are in megawatt-hours.
An average residential customer used 899 kWh/month and with the average US residential cost of $0.1504/kWh the average monthly electrical bill would be $135.27, up $14.25 (+11.77% from 2021. [30] Commercial customers (19.258 million) directly consumed 1,390.87 TWh or 32.56% of the total.
In Western Europe, this is between 4 and 8 MWh/year. [8] (1 MWh = 1,000 kWh) In Scandinavia, the United States, Canada, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom, the per capita consumption is higher; however, in developing countries, it is much lower. [8] The world's average was about 3 MWh/year in 2022. [8]
Since 2010, total consumption has remained within 2% of this figure. Per capita consumption was 11.5 MWh in 2021, down 8% from its peak in 2007. [83] [84] Residential customers used 39% of total electricity. [83] Each month, the average customer used 886 kWh and paid $121 at an average rate of 13.7 cents/kWh. [85]
The data are given in kilograms of oil equivalent per year, and gigajoules per year, and in watts, as average equivalent power. Notes on conversions. 1 kg of oil equivalent (kgoe) = 11.63 kWh or 1 kWh = 0.08598 kgoe [2] 1000 kgoe = 42 GJ; 1 GJ/a = 31.7 W average; 1 W average = 8.76 kWh per year (365 × 24 Wh per year)
In 2020, the average household in the United States consumed 893 kWh per month. [13] Raising the temperature of 1 litre of water from room temperature to the boiling point with an electric kettle takes about 0.1 kWh. A 12-watt LED lamp lit constantly uses about 0.3 kWh per 24 hours and about 9 kWh per month.
The FIT contract contains a guaranteed period of time (usually 15–20 years) that payments in dollars per kilowatt hour ($/kWh) will be made for the full output of the system. Net metering is another billing mechanism that supports the development of renewable power generation, specifically, solar power. The mechanism credits solar energy ...
