I was surprised to see how low electricity usage is.

The fairer measurement is probably gas and electric, and your source says ‘ According to Ofgem, the average British household has 2.4 people living in it and uses 2,700 kWh of electricity and 11,500 kWh of gas. This works out at 242 kWh of electricity and 1,000 kWh of gas per month.’

We don’t have gas at home and use about 10,000kW/h here in New Zealand.




Yeah that's what's wild about it. Those prices are so high despite the fact that Brits use so much gas
