The per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year that the consumption data are.
The second graph illustrates the average daily electricity consumption of a house per season category of star rating and state.
Average energy consumption is also affected by the weather which is why energy bills are usually higher during the darker colder winter months but average household electricity consumption works out at between eight and 10 kwh per day.
The average kwh retail price for electricity is just 8 2 cents among the 10 lowest in the nation.
