An Example of Cost and Savings with Wind Energy
How much electricity is a 100-kilowatt-hour block? The chart below
shows how much electricity typical appliances require in a month.
| Appliance | 100-kWh
Blocks |
Additional charge
per month1 |
| Clothes Dryer |
|
$1.28 to $3.00 |
| Deep Freezer |
|
$1.28 to $3.00 |
| Refrigerator |
|
$1.28 to $3.00 |
| Small room air conditioner |
|
$3.84 to $9.00 |
| Water heating for family of 4 |
|
$6.40 to $15.00 |
What does this mean? If you use 1100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month and you choose to utilize wind power for all your electricity needs, your electric bill would be an additional $14.08 to $33.00 more per month, depending upon your utility. However, you may buy as many or as few blocks of 100 kilowatt-hours of wind energy as you like.
Through the use of more energy efficient appliances, you can further reduce hazardous emissions into the air from “traditional” power generation.
Together, the purchase of energy-efficient appliances and the purchase of wind energy can greatly reduce the negative impact on our environment. The choice is yours.
