It doesn't break it out into gas or electric.
"Units represent a combination of electricity (kWh) and natural gas (GJ). This is based on 60 similar homes an average of 2 km from you. Efficient homes are the most efficient 20% of this group."

Maybe the windows would help reheating costs, perhaps replacing the major appliances will get me some extra savings there. My home is older and needs new furnace, windows, fridges that aren't over 20 years old and we have WFH but no EV... so I don't mind seeing like 10-30% more energy, but 50-70% is completely crazy. I even filled in the energy IQ questions. I definitely need an energy audit, but the only other possibility I can think of is that Enmax is lumping my home with other "similar homes" that are 10-20% smaller which amplifies the extra energy usage situation?

Mine is all over the place, the last few months Enmax has been telling me my house has been using 4% more energy than similar homes, but last summer I was using anywhere between 75-88% more.
I would guess -- for my house -- it's down to having the air conditioning running, and not everyone has air conditioning.
