As always, the most easy-to-find data is based in the USA (but still somewhat useful for the rest of the world). The following table is copied verbatim from U.S. Energy Information Agency:
- Tip: Divide by 336997624 people (U.S. population in 2021) to get per capita numbers.
How is electricity used in U.S. homes?
| End use | Billion kilowatthours | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Space cooling | 235 | 15% |
| Space heating | 207 | 14% |
| Water heating | 176 | 12% |
| Refrigeration | 87 | 6% |
| Clothes dryers | 64 | 4% |
| Lighting | 59 | 4% |
| Televisions and related equipment1 | 56 | 4% |

| Freezers | 20 | 1% |
| Cooking | 16 | 1% |
| Clothes washers3 | 11 | 1% |
| Dishwashers3 | 8 | 1% |
| Other uses4 | 520 | 34% |
| Total consumption | 1,519 | |
| 1 Annual Energy Outlook, Reference case, Table 4: Residential sector key indicators and consumption. 2 Includes televisions, set-top boxes, home theater systems, DVD players, and video game consoles. 3 Includes desktop and laptop computers, monitors, and networking equipment. 4 Does not include water heating. 5 Includes small electric devices, heating elements, exterior lights, outdoor grills, pool and spa heaters, backup electricity generators, and motors not listed above.
