The bar chart illustrates the amount of electricity consumed monthly by households in Korea, measured in billions of kilowatts, while the pie chart shows the seasonal distribution of total annual electricity usage across all sectors.
Overall, household electricity consumption fluctuates throughout the year, reaching its peak in summer and dropping to its lowest point in spring. Similarly, summer accounts for the largest proportion of annual electricity usage, whereas fall contributes the least.
In detail, electricity use begins at around 10 billion kilowatts in January before declining steadily to approximately 4 billion in April, which is the lowest figure of the year. After that, consumption rises sharply, reaching about 9 billion in June and peaking at 12 billion in August. Following this peak, the figure decreases again to around 5 billion in October before recovering slightly to roughly 9 billion by December.
Regarding seasonal distribution, summer dominates with 36.5% of total electricity usage. Winter is the second highest at 29.75%, which is nearly double the figure for fall (14.5%), the smallest share. Spring accounts for a moderate proportion at 16.25%.
