The US 10k kWh average is extremely high.

The EU average is 3.7k kWh.



Here in Norway the average is 16k kWh a year[1], or about 44kWh a day, but then most uses electricity for heating, hot water etc and it gets fairly cold during winter.

Is that really the accepted unit for measuring the power-consumption of a home? Can't we just use kilowatts?
