Dear John, My electricity bill measures the energy I buy in kilowatt-hours. I believe that this is the common practice all over Australia. My gas bill measures the energy I but in joules. Again, I believe that this is the common practice all over Australia. One company, chosen at random, has a glossary that lists the way it uses joules. Go to http://www.originenergy.com.au/605/Glossary and search for joule.
