hi all.

just received my second npower bill ever, which was a 6 monthly bill as opposed to my first bill being 3 months (go figure why it changed)

and i have a question on average usage

over the last nine months my usage was

1550 kWh used since end of june until 1st feb - electric

10770 kWh used since end of june until 1st feb - gas

is this good / bad or the ugly?

    It probably depends on the size of your property and the number of occupants...

    ETA: I haven't been in my property for 9 months, only 7, but if my daily average use continues at the same rate, I will have used 737.5 kWh of electricity after 9 months. I don't have gas, so can't provide you with a comparison for that. I live in a studio flat, alone, so I expect my usage to be fairly low.
