Heath energy required != electricity requirement.
A modern house in Finland needs around 15-24kWh a year of heat energy if it's well insulated. On the higher end for big + northern houses, and less if you're smaller and further south.
Some get this energy by burning wood, others with heat pumps, and some with direct electricity.
24kWh is 1kW drawn continuously for 24hrs.
That can’t possibly heat any home for an entire year.
I think they mean per square meter of living space.
I think MWh is meant, otherwise it makes no sense
My 90sqm bungalow in the U.K. uses about 15MWh a year for heating - 1500 litres of oil, almost all in winter. Peak load is about 2.5kW over a day (60kWh)
24k kWh
it does! With a heat pump and insulation.
I think you are off by about 3 orders of magnitude as my Austrian flat need about 7MWh a year for heating and 3MWh of electricity. I could generate 24kWh per year on an indoor bicycle.
