Power usage

While we were at dinner tonight, Jan told me something very interesting. Apparently the 'average' household in New Zealand consumes 8000 kWh/year.
Extrapolating our past six month's use out to a year, the two of us consume about 2,600 kWh/year, including running a business from home. About 30% of an average household (and we don't pay for it, at present, as we are generating monthly credits, including offsetting our supply charge).
I really don't think that Jan can complain that I am profligate with energy :-)
