Early 2008 research from the Co-op Bank suggested that the UK public plans to spend more than £13b to make their homes greener in 2008 (an average of £550 per house per year). Two-thirds claimed that they had reduced their carbon footprint in the past year.
An informal on-line poll of usage per month,
in a blog read by a worldwide audience including the UK and US,
indicated as of 2008/02/04 that the modal monthly kWh (mains) electricity use is around 500 to 600:
| How much electricity do you use each month? | |
|---|---|
| Less than 300kWh | 18 |
| 300 to 600kWh | 26 |
| 600 to 900kWh | 18 |
| 900 to 1200kWh | 8 |
| 1200 to 1500kWh | 12 |
| 1500 to 1800kWh | 2 |
