Getting Back to the Basic Kilowatt (KW) is an Amount Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a RATE “ Kilo” means “thousand,” so… 1,000 watts consumed over one hour = 1kWh Examples: 100W bulb left on for 10 hours= 1kWh 2000W Hairdryer for ½ hour= 1kWh How does Duke Energy Calculate cost per KWh? Divide month’s charges by month’s usage… Approximate cost in North Carolina= $.095 (9.5 cent) per KWh

Kilowatt (KW) is an Amount

Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a RATE

“ Kilo” means “thousand,” so…

1,000 watts consumed over one hour = 1kWh

Examples:

100W bulb left on for 10 hours= 1kWh

2000W Hairdryer for ½ hour= 1kWh

How does Duke Energy Calculate cost per KWh?

Divide month’s charges by month’s usage…

Approximate cost in North Carolina= $.095 (9.5 cent) per KWh

Calculating Appliance Use Watts x Hours Used x Days x .085=cost 1000 Determine wattage and time period you want to estimate (day month, year, etc) For example, how much will using my 1500 W space heater 12 hours a day add to my monthly bill? 1500x12x30 x .095+ 45.9 1000 $45.90 per month

Watts x Hours Used x Days x .085=cost

1000

Determine wattage and time period you want to estimate (day month, year, etc)

For example, how much will using my 1500 W space heater 12 hours a day add to my monthly bill?

1500x12x30 x .095+ 45.9

1000

$45.90 per month

Way To Save Water A dishwasher can use 25 gallons of water per load. Only run the dishwasher when it’s full. If your dishwasher is new, there’s no need to rinse. Put your dishwasher on the short cycle and save 10 gallons. A showerhead can use 3 gallons of water per minute. Limit your showers to 3-4 minutes. Install a low-flow, water-efficient shower head.

Create Three Ideas Reduce: Reduce waste by curbing use of disposables. This can also be done by eating less often at fast food restaurants. Recycle: Collect recyclable goods to bring to schools for Arts and Craft Session. Allow kids to pick from box along with accessories to stimulate creativity and show that recycling can be fun. Reuse : Sponsor a Community toy swap and park clean-up the show values of reuse and pride in the community.
