To ask what your average KWH usage is per month?

[hahatate]

I've looked at my annual usage this year and it works out about 250kwh per month for electric.

That averages roughly £100 per month (£13 of which is standing charge and the rest is for the energy consumption.)

Three bed house with 3 occupants.

I haven't worked out gas yet. The only gas we use is central heating. Everything else is electric.

Can I ask what your usage is on average?

Gas is average 515 keg per month, costing approximately £80 per month (£8 of which is standing charge and the rest energy consumption)

So total average monthly for both gas and electric is £180 or £2160 per year.

Over the past 12 months I have used 4300 kWh electric and 12,200 kWh gas. So roughly 358 kWh electric monthly, the gas expected is significantly more over winter and significantly less over summer but would average around 1000 kWh per month.

Do people not know or not interested in their usage?

Some won't know, others won't be interested. Or they'll realise that there's little point comparing with others in different sized houses, different occupancy /usage patterns, different heating systems, different expectations and budgets about the amount of heating used or different amounts of insulation. Plus what people use now might be quite different from their historical usage as the price rises have forced or encouraged them to find ways to use less.

Ofgem publish averages for the whole country for low, medium and high levels of usage, so if you want to compare yourself to others, that's the best place to look, rather than with what will end up as a meaningless list of numbers.

Your electricity use is about average, but your gas use is quite low, suggesting that you don't have the heating on very much, or your house is very well insulated.

I don't have a whole year's data with my current supplier so I don't know my annual usage currently, but I did find it interesting that half my gas usage from March-December was in December alone. Heating is the vast majority of my gas bill.

Electricity: we use 5000 kWh a year. 416 per month.
Gas: we use 9000 kWh a year. Averages out at 750 per month but obviously it isn't equal across the year - we use much more on winter months than summer. December we used about 1600 kWh.

If you ask Google, you can find out what the UK average is. For example, average household of 2.4 people, average electric use 2900kwh per year

They most likely discussed this already 7x on threads about how much they use so just don't see point to repeat that

Just under 100kwh for electric. Gas varies dramatically of course, but just under 400kwh a month on average according to my annual usage. It was 300 for November, likely double that for December.

Exactly this.

We used 324kwh of electricity and 546kwh of gas 18th Nov to 18th Dec, through the cold snap. This cost about £170.

I've no idea what the average is. We use what we need and can't change it.

We'd struggle to reduce ours further now, but have reduced gas usage by a third compared to last December. Many people could still cut usage, thermostat down a degree or two, washing at 30 if they weren't already, reducing how much washing they do by wearing clothes and using towels and bedding longer. We've already done all that so our usage now is what it is.

Consistently 2.7K kWh per year, 3 occupants. 1980s semi. Electric oven, gas only for CH & HW.

Agree. We already have the thermostat at 18 max, well insulated house, wash at 20, dishwasher every other day etc so whatever is left - we just go with. Our DD is only £81 due to the £67 a month payments. I think working out an average is a bit unhelpful for most, as we don't even have an average across the days at the moment due to fluctuating temps.

The last month -
Gas- 190kw (£89.06 cost)
Electric - 263kw (£59.36)
Total cost £148.42

The month before
Gas - 95 (£35.84)
Electric- 341 (£75.05)
Total cost - £110.89

I used a dehumidifier in the month November to December so I assume that's why the Electric was so high the previous month. This month I assume because I've had the heating on more due to the cold and snow.

I've been in credit, now £65 in debit but my monthly DD hasn't gone in yet but that will clear it

Winter months we use

Electricity - up to 180KWH
Gas - up to 450KWH
