In other perspective, how average US household can use 867 kWh in a month is unbelievable, where let's say Germany is around 300 kWh.

To be fair the average "new" house is the US is almost twice as big as the average new house in the Germany.

Also there is a link between weather and energy usage. An average household in Louisiana or California uses way more electricity than New York's average.

Germany ranks very high in terms of renewable energy ratio and I think that's more remarkable.
