Monitoring your energy consumption is essential for managing costs and reducing your environmental impact. This calculator helps you estimate your Scottish Power energy usage based on your electricity and gas consumption.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your energy consumption:
- Enter your electricity usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
- Enter your gas usage in cubic meters (m³)
- Select your billing period (monthly or annual)
- Click "Calculate" to see your results
The calculator will display your total energy consumption, cost estimate (based on Scottish Power's average rates), and a comparison with national averages.
Formula Used
Total Energy Consumption (kWh)
Electricity (kWh) + (Gas (m³) × 11.63)
Note: 1 cubic meter of gas ≈ 11.63 kWh
Estimated Cost (GBP)
Total Energy (kWh) × Average Rate (GBP/kWh)
Scottish Power average rates: Electricity 0.28 GBP/kWh, Gas 0.04 GBP/kWh
Worked Example
Let's calculate the energy consumption for a typical household:
- Electricity: 500 kWh/month
- Gas: 20 m³/month
Total Energy = 500 kWh + (20 × 11.63) = 500 + 232.6 = 732.6 kWh/month
Estimated Cost = 732.6 × (0.28 + 0.04) = 732.6 × 0.32 = £234.42/month
Interpreting Your Results
Your results will show:
- Total Energy Consumption: Your combined electricity and gas usage
- Estimated Cost: Based on Scottish Power's average rates
- Comparison: How your usage compares to national averages
Use these results to:
- Identify areas where you can reduce energy usage
- Compare with neighbors or similar households
- Track changes over time
Remember that actual costs may vary based on your specific tariff and Scottish Power's pricing changes.
