Energy data

Electricity and gas - consumption and generation data


In our experience investing in microgeneration increased our sensitivity to possibilities for energy saving. Microgeneration has been very successful for us. Our base measurements were for 2004-5 (the year before the installation of photovoltaic cells).


Annual gas consumption (2 person household) - After a slow start and with much additional insulation, we've reduced our gas energy consumption by around 75%.

Gas - annual running total

Annual electricity consumption (2 person household) - We have reduced our annual electricity consumption by around 70%. With the additional solar panels installed in April 2013, we are now generating more than 700 kWh than we use.
