The provided graph compares the electricity usage in the UK during normal winter and summer days. The pie chart provides a breakdown of electricity consumption in an average household.
Overall, it is evident that electric power is in higher demand on winter days than summer days, with a distinct peak in the evening. Additionally, heating systems account for the majority of household electricity use.
Regarding daily demand, the summer graph shows demand starting at around 17,000 units at midnight. It gradually declines to a low of approximately 12,000 at 9 AM. Following this, demand rises to a peak of nearly 20,000 at noon and again at 10 PM before tailing off overnight.
In contrast, winter consumption is consistently and substantially higher. The least amount of usage (30.000) occurs around 8:00 in the morning, and the peak is around 22:00, which is about 45,000. Throughout the afternoon and evening hours, the portion of usage is around 40.000.
According to the pie chart, the home heating system stood in first rank over half of all domestic electricity(52.5%). In the next largest portion, Ovens, Kettles, and washing machines accounted for just above 17% and the remaining is divided equally between lighting/TV/radio and a category including vacuum cleaners and electric tools.
