One, if you leave it on all the time.
It really depends on how much fluctuation you have in your bills. Look
at the amount of power you used for this period for a few years prior.
Can also be affect by air conditioning or electric heater use as these
largely depend on the weather.
It also depends on how long your billing period is. It will definitely
show up when we move from the current two monthly to quarterly billing.
Or, if your landlady wants you to pay for running a computer, you owe
her for 6kilowattHours per day, or $4.65/week/computer (up to 250Watts).
Yes, I once had board whilst at uni and I had to cough up for the extra
electricity for an electric clock I brought {:-).
