	Watt-hour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kilowatt-hour is commonly used for electrical energy and natural gas energy.
		The watt hour is derived from the multiplication of the SI unit of power (watt) and the non-SI unit of time (hour).
		The watt hour is not an SI unit because it contains the non-SI unit (hour).

	Howstuffworks "How Electricity Works"
		If you have a 20,000-watt heat pump and you leave it on for five hours every day, you will consume 100 kilowatt-hours per day (20 kilowatts * 5 hours = 100 kilowatt-hours), or 10 dollars of power per day if a kilowatt-hour costs a dime.
		If you leave the space heater on for one hour, you will use 1.2 kilowatt-hours of power.
		Similarly, if you have a 100-watt light and you leave it on for 10 hours, the light will consume 1 kilowatt-hour (100 watts* 10 hours = 1 kilowatt-hour).

		Kilowatt hours of electricity distributed to an end user through a meter that is not measured for a thirty (30) day period will be taxed monthly by dividing the days in the measurement period into the total kilowatt hours measured during the measurement period to obtain a daily average usage.
		If no meter is used to measure the kilowatt hours of electricity distributed, the rates shall apply to the estimated kilowatt hours of electricity distributed to an unmetered location outside the city boundaries.
		The kilowatt hour electricity distributed to those electric customers outside the city boundaries beginning with the measurement period that includes May 1, 2001 will be billed at the following rates per kilowatt hour of electricity distributed in a thirty (30) day period through a meter of an end user:

	Your Business: What is Demand Billing?
		Demand is often measured in kilowatts (kW = 1 kilowatt = 1000 watts), while energy use is usually measured in kilowatt hours (kWh = kilowatts x hours of use = kilowatt hours).
		If the bulbs are left on for three hours, they will have used 3,000 watt-hours or, 3 kilowatt hours of electric energy use (1 kilowatt x 3 hours = 3 kilowatt hours).
		Ten 100-watt lightbulbs consume electricity at the rate of 1,000 watts, or 1 kilowatt.

	Save Energy
		We've given the figures in kilowatt hours; to convert to dollars, multiply by 0.1, as the retail price of electricity is about 10 cents a kilowatt hour in most areas of North America.
		Even running a ceiling fan 24 hours a day consumes just 43 kilowatt hours a month; running a room air conditioner 50 per cent of the time uses 12 to 18 times that much power.
		Assuming the average bulb burns for 24.5 hours a week, replacing 20 incandescent bulbs of 60 watts each with compact fluorescents will save 96 kilowatt hours a month.

		Provisions in the Gas Levy Act, Gas Act and subordinate legislation referring to therms are amended with immediate effect to refer to therms or kilowatt hours, and with effect from 1st January 2000 to refer to kilowatt hours exclusively.
		A public gas supplier is accordingly enabled to introduce charges based on kilowatt hours progressively over a period of years.
		The limit of 25,000 therms differentiating between supplies of gas to tariff customers and others and the exception to the prohibition in respect of unauthorised supplies for supplies of gas at the required rate of 2,000,000 therms are given metric equivalents of 732,000 and 58million kilowatt hours, respectively.

		Sometimes under demand pricing, the utility charges a higher rate per kilowatt hour when you use power during the peak periods.
		Other times, you'll face an additional fee above and beyond your energy usage based on the highest number of kilowatt hours you use in the course of a month, a week or even a day.

	What is a kilowatt-hour (kWh)?
		The number of kilowatts used is multiplied by the number of hours of use, and the result is a kilowatt hour, or kWh.
		In the case of your electric bill, one 60-watt bulb used five hours per day for 30 days equals nine kilowatt hours (60 watts of power X 5 hours per day X 30 days divided by 1,000 = 9 kilowatt hours).
		Usually, electricity is measured in kilowatts, or 1,000 watt units.

	SignOn San Diego Special Reports -- S.D. legislators back governor's plan
		Alpert said the governor told the legislators he thinks businesses that use more than 3,500 kilowatt hours are large enough to go out on the market and negotiate their own energy contracts.
		The freeze was based on San Diego Gas and Electric Co. charging customers 3.5-cents per kilowatt hour, Alpert said, which would reduce the monthly bill for the average residence to $55, down from the current bill of $125.
		Businesses using less than 3,500 kilowatt hours would be placed under the cap and pay an average of $220 a month.

	UK Power - How the calculator works.
		Once the number of kilowatt hours are calculated (either from option A or B above), the calculator then works out what each supplier will charge you for a year for this number of kilowatt hours.
		The calculator works out the amount of kilowatt hours of gas and electricity you use, and multiplies this up using each suppliers tariff details, to show the total cost each supplier will charge for the forthcoming year, based on latest prices available.
		The first step therefore is to establish the number of kilowatt hours that are used for each supply.

	Load Factor
		Simply, the load factor is the actual amount of kilowatt-hours delivered on a system in a designated period of time as opposed to the total possible kilowatt-hours that could be delivered on a system in a designated period of time.
		Using a year as the designated period, the load factor is calculated by dividing the kilowatt-hours delivered during the year by the peak load for the year times the total number or hours during the year.
		The ratio of the average load supplied during a designated period to the peak load occurring in that period, in kilowatts.
