Annual kWh is the government label figure for a residential user in the mixed zone (Richmond NSW climate: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth). Mixed climate zone shown by default (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth); switch to cold or hot. Cost = kWh × 32c/kWh in AUD; change the price above to your tariff.
