Re:28-ton, 1.2-megawatt tidal kite is now exporting power to... by pappn on Monday February 12, 2024 @04:04PM (#39350478)
I think 100 households per MW in milder climates is very conservative.

Anectdata: I have a ~150 square meter, 50 year old house heated by electricity and heat pump. I live I Norway, and where I live winter temperatures usually don't get lower than -12C. I have 2 EVs that are driven around 50k km a year combined, charged at home every night, simultaneously.

I peak out below 15kW (1h average). That number is deliberate since I get a higher tariff if I go above 15kW. I have some minor smart house installations that most significantly cuts power to my hot water heater if I get close to 15kW, but even without that I would rarely get above 15kW, and never above 20kW.

Average power this January was 4.75kW, December was 4.96kW, August was 2.25kW.
