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.
