According to to stat.gov.pl [1] the average Polish household uses ~24.6 GJ of energy annually per 1 inhabitant. That's 6800 kWh annually per 1 inhabitant.

According to eia.gov [2][3] the average US household uses annually 56.6 million BTUs of natural gas and 10500 kWh of electricity. 56.6 million BTUs is 16600 kWh. That would bring the total to 27100 kWh.

But wait...the Polish data is per inhabitant. The average number of people per household in the US is 2.6. Dividing 27100 by 2.6 gives 10400 kWh. Alternatively, the average Polish household is 2.47 people, which would give Polish per household usage of 16800 kWh.

The US does appear to use more energy per household (total or per inhabitant) than Poland, but by a factor of about 1.6, not 5.

The USA includes many places where air conditioning uses electricity, and some places where heating uses electricity.

They also have huge and inefficient appliances, but that's probably a smaller impact on the figures.

Finland is probably like 15000 kWh/year/house (for a new house more like 10000 kWh/year). All the heating of the house & water is done by electricity, though.

Air conditioning makes up a big part of that, made worse by worse insulation and larger houses.

Of course Poland needs heating, but that doesn't show up in Electricity usage as most people heat with natural gas or oil.

8.2 kwh/day for a household in Lithuania, neighbours Poland. Sounds about right.

2022 stats: 3.289 TWh during 2022 consumed, 1.1M households, do the math...

Ok, but what do you actually use? I have a very small 3-bed house in the UK, and over the last few months we've been averaging 1100-1200kWh of electricity per month(and we heat using gas, although we do have an electric car).
