It's crazy how power hungry UK homes are, or maybe it's UK power consumption habits in general.

I use about ~300 kWh/month. A little bit more with AC some times of the year. What are you even powering with 15000 kWh?



The OP is a significant outlier - the UK average is around 7.4kWh/household/day[0], or 11.2kWh specifically for large households.

I did try to make it clear in the article.

We're powering 2 x EVs, have two adults working from home full time, I have a server rack under the stairs, and we have a hot tub outside.


They explain in the article.
