I set a goal for myself three months ago to reduce my electricity usage from a guestimated 300KWH per month to 250KWH per month. I succeeded but I failed too. I managed to reduce my family's electrical consumption to 292KWH per month averaged over the last three months (my meter is read every three months). I was successful however because my actual usage for the same period last year was 356KWH per month.

Natural gas usage has remained unchanged at ~2400 cubic meters per year since I upgraded the insulation on my house four years ago. Prior to that, I used ~3600 cubic meters per year.
