On: Why are UK electricity bills so expensive?

> Electricity consumption will vary during the year

We heat with a wood burner and so have very flat usage over a year. Heating requirements are lower here in Auckland, New Zealand.

During winter the days are shorter so the lights are on more often.

People tend to eat/drink more heated things than during summer (think coffee maker and microwave ovens).

They also tend to spend more time inside due to the weather so they use things needing electricity (TV, computer, radio...).
