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.
Electricity consumption per person (per capita) is based upon data mined from US DOE Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2022 files [34] Population [35] data is from Demographics of the United States. Per capita consumption in 2022 is 12,809 kWh. This is up 351 kWh from 2021 and down 1.8% from a decade ago and down 7.2% from ...
This is a list of European countries by electricity consumption per person. As of 2022, the top three are Iceland (52,920 kWh/year), Norway (23,374 kWh/year), and Finland (14,747 kWh/year), whereas the bottom three are Moldova (2,201 kWh/year), Albania (2,509 kWh/year), and Ukraine (2,636 kWh/year). [1] All figures in this article are given in ...
The state with the lowest per capita energy use is Rhode Island, at 161 million BTU per year, and the highest is Louisiana, at 908 million BTU per year. Energy use and prices often have an inverse relationship; Hawaii uses some of the least energy per capita but pays the highest price on average, while Louisiana pays the least on average. [77]
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]
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 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)
