According to the U. S. Department of Energy, a typical home in the United States uses approximately 900 kWh of electricity per month. On an annual basis, this is
900 kWh/month x 12 months/year = 10,800 kWh/year
How many homes can a 500 MW power plant with a 0.9 capacity factor support? Begin by determining how much electricity the plant can provide per month:
1 MWh equals 1,000 kWh, so to convert MWh per month into kWh per month, we multiply by 1,000:
So,
On average, a 500 MW power plant can supply roughly 360 homes with electricity.
a. During summer months, in hot regions of the United States, some homes run air conditioners continuously. How many homes can the same power plant support if average electricity usage increases to 1,200 kWh/month during summer months?
