Electricity consumption refers to the amount of electrical energy used by households, businesses, and industries over a specific period. It is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which indicates how much energy is used when a device operates for one hour at a power of one kilowatt. Understanding electricity consumption helps in managing energy costs and promoting energy efficiency. Factors influencing electricity consumption include the number of electrical devices, usage patterns, and the efficiency of appliances. For example, refrigerators, air conditioners, and lighting can significantly impact overall usage. Monitoring consumption can lead to better energy management and reduced environmental impact.
