What is a kilo-watt hour?

It's the unit of electricity that your hydro meter measures and for which we bill you each month. A kilowatt-hour [kWh] is 1,000 watts of electricity used in one hour. That is the equivalent of the power used to light a 100 watt light bulb for ten hours. KWh usually accumulates in fractions. If the 100 watt light bulb is on for one hour that’s one tenth of a kWh. If it’s on for one hour per day for 30 days that’s 30 X 1/10 = 3 kWh. To operate a standard 5,000 watt electric clothes dryer for 12 minutes, 1/5th of an hour would equal 1 kWh. To operate the drier for an hour would use 5 kWh.
