*Note: These values are based on modern energy efficient devices and appliances purchased in the last five years and are meant as estimates for average use to represent a typical NB Power customer. Electricity usage depends on many factors including maintenance and upkeep of appliances (such as cleaning air filters), your use habits (like leaving the fridge door open) and personal preferences. Dollar values were calculated using the NB Power rate as of April 2023 ($0.1227/kWh) and do not include monthly service charges for electricity or sales tax on your bill.
