The cost of leaving
appliances on standby
Standby power is also referred
to as ‘vampire power’ or ‘phantom load’. It refers to electricity that is
consumed by appliances left on standby mode and essentially means you are
paying for electricity that you’re not even using.
Standby power accounts for
around 10% of energy consumed in Australian homes, costs consumers over 950M
per annum and generates more than 6.5M tones of carbon dioxide emissions in
2005. According to the following table, (depending on electricity rate you pay
and number of appliances left on standby), standby power could cost you well
over $100 per year.
