What are kilowatts (kW)
and kilowatt hours (kWh)?
The amounts of electricity and gas you
use are shown on your display in kilowatt
hours (kWh). Each kWh is one unit. Your
appliances all use different amounts of
energy. A typical electric kettle is rated
around 2kW, which means that, while in
use, it consumes 2kW of electricity. If the
kettle was used continuously for an hour,
it would use 2 kWh, or 2 units of electricity.
