April 22, 2012



In the last 24 hours, I have used 9 Kwh.

It's simple math, really. Today's reading is 2197. Yesterday's reading was 2188.

When I called the billing company, it was suggested to me that the reason my meter reading was below the figure that their own bill claimed was an estimate could have been because I had used so much electricity that the numbers had rolled over and gone back to all zeroes within a month's time.

But there are five digits on my meter. That means I would have had to use 100,000 Kwh. But, as the photos in this blog clearly indicate, my daily consumption is about 10 Kwh.

At that rate, it would take me more than 27 years to consume 100,000 Kwh.

Even at the rate that they claimed I was consuming energy in February — 30 Kwh/day — it would take me about a decade to consume 100,000 Kwh.
