Reviewing electricity usage in 2009


Timelapse movie of electricity usage during one day (more detail)

I've also been collecting my electricity usage during 2009 using a Current Cost smart electricity meter. I don't have it connected up to a computer all the time as that would require me to leave a computer on, somewhat self-defeatingly, so I had to regularly grab the data every 30 days or so. There are a couple of graphs below and the data used for the graphs is available for download in the unlikely occurrence that you'd like to use it.

This is the year graphed as daily kWh (kilowatt hours) readings in grey with a moving average superimposed in green. The zeros in the daily graph are days when I don't have any reading.

And this is the total usage in kWh per month.

There are other graphs I've made here, more information on how to get data out of a Current Cost in this post and more about our typical electricity usage here. Data gathered using one of these...
