...but the Wikipedia article you site says 2kW, not 2.5kW, and adding heating seems irrelevant, because the vast majority of homes in New England do not use electricity for heating. The 17,000 homes figure that you're fact-checking is referring to 17,000 homes with today's actual electrical use, not energy use in general.

If you add up the numbers in the wikipedia chart, it's actually 2310, which I round up to 2500 to simplify the math. Either way, these are "household" numbers more dependant on the definition of household. I'd stick to the more solid numbers per capita for the entire country.
