How is energy consumption calculated?
Energy consumption is calculated by multiplying each appliance's power rating by its average daily usage hours and the number of days used per month, then adding standby power consumption for 24 hours per day. The total is adjusted by a usage scenario factor and a reserve allowance to cover unexpected usage.
Factors influencing your electricity bill
Your electricity bill depends on total kWh consumed, your energy tariff, appliance efficiency, standby power, usage patterns including peak and off-peak hours, and reserve allowances.
Why estimate your energy consumption?
Estimating energy consumption helps you select efficient appliances, plan renewable energy systems, manage budgets, and reduce waste by understanding your true energy needs.
Tips for reducing energy consumption
Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, use smart plugs or timers to reduce standby power, monitor usage patterns, and include reserve allowances to avoid surprises in your energy bill.
