Our electricity usage went way up with Covid, as a result of both of us being home most of the time and my wife working from home. I dug into our bills a little bit the last couple of days and found this:
Total Utilities average (May 2016 to May 2020) - $287.16
Total Utilities average (May 2020 to present) - $374.84
Avg kWh usage (May 2016 to May 2020) - 525
Avg kWh usage (May 2020 to present) - 867
Cost per GJ of natural gas over the past 6 years is interesting as well
2016-17: $10.06/GJ
2017-18: $10.39/GJ
2018-19: $10.60/GJ
2019-20: $10.74/GJ
2020-21: $12.47/GJ (+16.1%)
2021-22: $14.47/GJ (+16.0%)
Water usage went from a consistent 11/12 cubes a month to 15/16 with us being home all the time.
