I know some conversions 360 Joules = 1 watt hour etc, and I can see why units are changed so we can have a reasonable number and or understand what it means, but what is 3.4 million homes in mega watt? Last two power stations I worked on the build of was 1500 MW and 1600 MW first had two generators the second four generators.
The internet hunt says 650 homes per MW so around 5230 MW so around 3.5 nuclear power stations, that is a lot of off shore wind power.
1.5 kW average does seem reasonable per home. Until you consider heating, then it jumps, so if we any phasing out fossil fuels then the average for a home must include heating, and then 1.5 kW seem very low.
