The graph displays the consumption of electricity used in England over the course of ordinary days in winter and summer. The pie chart illustrates the way electricity is used in a typical English household.
Overall, the consumption of electricity in winter is much higher than the summer consumption, mainly due to its use as a source of warmth.
The line graph shows that both winter and summer electricity consumption fluctuates throughout the day, with winter demand starting at around 17 thousand units and summer demand starting at 35 thousand units. Winter demand drops to 30 thousand units at 7:30 AM, then increases steadily to reach a peak of 45 thousand units at 22:00 PM. Summer demand reaches its lowest point of 14 thousand units at 9:00 AM, with its highest points at 14:00 and 22:00 PM, both with about 20 thousand units..
The pie chart indicates that heating rooms is responsible for the most significant share of electricity use, accounting for 52.5%. There is little difference between kitchen appliances and electric devices, with the former contributing the second highest proportion at 17.5%, while the latter contributes a slightly lower proportion at 15%. In addition, lighting, TV, and radio together constitute a threefold lower proportion than the first sector.
