Well, here it is.
The average daily 2025 household consumption data for the CitiPower network.
This is the average daily kWh power usage for all residential customers across CitiPower, which takes in Melbourne’s CBD and inner suburbs.
It reveals, somewhat counter-intuitively, that homes with solar use more power from the grid than homes without solar. Batteries are the same, too.
