Electricity usage is measured in kilowatt hours (kwh). One kilowatt hour is 1000 watts of electricity in use for one hour.

In Utah Power's service area, the average cost of one kilowatt hour is under 4C (among the lowest in the nation). The following chart lists the approximate amount of electricity consumed by various appliances in normal use for one month.
