There must be a site somewhere: Veridian? SaskPower? HydroOne?
I know we were informed at the beginning of this crunch we used more than the average for a three-bedroom bungalow we were in connected to my work. It was an architects dream home that has at least twice the footprint of the three-bedroom bungalow we are now in. We know, because of how we are treated by the energy deliverer here that we are now using less than the average.
Because Canada covers a lot of territory, the average across the country varies immensely. Are you looking, say at a home in Windsor, Ontario (about as far south as you can get) or Edmonton, Alberta or Whitehorse, Yukon which are among the most northern.
A couple of the coldest places in North America are, Thompson, Manitoba and Armstrong, Ontario.
The amount varies allot. People use electricity to heat homes in Quebec and Manitoba. Your wind turbine only works when the wind blows. How are you going to keep your frig cold when you have no wind.
In Ontario, a home might use 14000 Kwh
You can store wind energy via hydrogen(hydrogen tanks under water systems are not dangerous) for having energy all the time.
So you would have to calculate it also.
