What is the consumption in kWh for a typical Australian home?

An average Australian home varies so greatly that it is difficult to determine average consumption; it depends on a number of factors such as the type and size of house, the number of people living in the property etc. As a very rough estimate a typical Australian home with 2 adults and 2 children would consume between 15 and 28 kWh per day.

Nevertheless large modern open plan homes with pool, aquarium and down lights can easily use between 40 and 50kWh per day with some households using as much as 60kWh plus. A highly energy-efficient home with energy efficient appliances, a net meter and solar power system can use as little as a 5 -10 kWh per day.
