Basics

This page aims to get data on the average amount of energy (focusing on electricity for now, but could include methane etc later) consumed by an average household
This can be used as is, or used to show potential savings via different OSE solutions
Also useful as a benchmark for what a house with no "losses/compramises" on the buyer's side would use

"In 2018, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,972 kilowatthours (kWh), an average of about 914 kWh per month."
"As of 2015, the average annual household electricity consumption in the US is 10,766 kWh.
Does this include US territories etc? Also may be good to get more specific data

"Residential electricity consumption in Florida averages 1,081 kWh/month, which ranks 13th in the U.S."
- Source for this from "ElectricityLocal"
- 1,081kwh/month / 31.42 average days/month = ~34.4 kwh/day
- Note that this doesn't take into account the time of use, and weather/generation conditions etc
A PDF on This, has graphs but where are the hard numbers?
