mrsbrownIn May I wrote about my household energy consumption and suggestions of the things I could do to reduce it.
I recently got my electricity bill. Our average electricity usage in October last year was 19.9kWh. This October, it is 13kWh.
If we had installed PV cells on our roof, we might have generated 4.5kWh per day in the last 3 months, but we've actually saved more than that through turning off our computers and using laptops, turning off mr-bassman's powered hub, and being more disciplined about turning off lights.
I think the thing to do to reduce our costs further is to replace our fridge. Maybe I could fund it from the energy savings I've made - the equivalent of $84 this year. That will take us about 20 years, hmmm.
