A simple electrical device is a 60 watt light bulb. The bulb is consuming 60 watts of electricity from the moment you turn it on. If you keep that light bulb on for 10 hours the power used is 60 watts x 10 hours = 600 watts of power. Electricity is sold in Kilowatt Hours. A Kilowatt is 1000 watts of power. Depending on the state you live in, it sells for 7 to 18 cents per Kilowatt Hour. So if you leave that light bulb on 10 hours per day for 30 days you will have used up 600 watts x 30 days = 18,000 watts of electricity = 18 Kilowatt Hours. At an average cost of 10 cents per Kilowatt Hour that bulb costs you $1.80 per month to leave on. The formula is watts x time x cost per Kilowatt Hour = cost of use...Answer provided by Gene Evangelist

How do you compute electrical energy consumption?
Usually in Kilowatts hours.
How do you compute for the cost of energy consumption per applliance?
Appliances usually have the consumption (Watts) noted on the device. If not: You can buy a device for indicating the power consumption, it fits in the wall socket, then plug in the device and note the reading. Electricity is normally charged by the Kw - hour Say the reading is 800 watts (microwave) = 800 / 1000 = 0.8 Kw Multiply by time in use (hours) Say 10 minutes = 10 / 60 = 0.167 hours Then: 0.8 Kw * 0.167 hours = 0.133 Kw - hours Multiply this by your suppliers rate per Kw - Hour, thats the cost.

What is reduction in electric consumption?
It is the reduction of using electrical devices. Each device is rated in watts. Cutting back on the use of these devices will reduce the watt consumption that is metered at the utility meter. The reduction of electrical wattage consumption will result in a savings of money to you.
