Electricity-price sensitivity
| Electricity price | Energy/use day | Annual energy | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15p/kWh | 0.60 kWh/day when used | 219 kWh/year | £33/yr |
| 25p/kWh | 0.60 kWh/day when used | 219 kWh/year | £55/yr |
| 35p/kWh | 0.60 kWh/day when used | 219 kWh/year | £77/yr |
Important assumption
TV power varies with panel size, technology, brightness and picture mode.
This is a worked planning estimate, not a measurement of your appliance. A smart plug, energy monitor or manufacturer annual-kWh figure usually gives a better real-world input for cycling appliances.
