It's NOT normal. I used 7.5kwh per day when living alone (no heating); up to 12.5kwh per day for two of us during this cold snap. Our last quarterly bill was £101 which we feel is still too much.
The problem is your heating and, if you also have a high day consumption in summer, your hot water usage. It's winter, dress for it!! Fleeces are peanuts from Primark or supermarkets, layer two and then set the heating to 18C. Use the cheap night rate more effectively by setting your immersion, washing machine and dishwasher to run overnight.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
