Following the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's (NERC) hike in electricity rates for Band A customers in urban areas, a hot topic is how long everyday appliances will run on a single unit (1kWh) of electricity under the new pricing scheme. 

SatiSense, a company focused on energy solutions, shed some light on this on their social media platform. 

A Tariff Hike, But How Much Does it Affect Appliance Usage?

While the Daily Post reported NERC's approval to raise the price of electricity for Band A customers from N66 per kilowatt-hour to N225, it's important to remember this directly impacts how much you pay, not necessarily how long your appliances run on a single unit of energy. 

Here's How Long Common Appliances Can Run on 1kWh:

SatiSense provides a helpful breakdown of how long various appliances can function on a single kilowatt-hour: 

Air Conditioners:
       1.5 HP: 53.4 minutes
       1 HP: 1 hour and 34 minutes
       2 HP: 40.2 minutes
       4 HP: 20.4 minutes
Kitchen Appliances:
    * Blender (Medium): 2 hours and 22 minutes
    * Electric Cookers:
          1 Plate: 40.2 minutes
          2 Plates + Oven: 18 minutes
          2 Plates: 24 minutes
         4 Plates: 13.2 minutes
    Electric Kettles:
          Medium: 27 minutes
          Small: 32.4 minutes
    Fans:
      Ceiling Fan: 11 hours and 76 minutes
      Standing Fan: 14 hours and 29 minutes
      Table Fan: 25 hours
Other Appliances:
          Microwave (Medium): 1 hour and 11 minutes
      Pressing Iron:
          Dry: 49.8 minutes
          Steam: 30 minutes
 Refrigerators:
        * Large: 7 hours and 14 minutes
        * Medium: 10 hours
        * Small: 12 hours and 5 minutes
    Televisions:
        * 300W: 3 hours and 33 minutes
        * 100W: 10 hours
     Toasters:
        * Large: 42.6 minutes
        * Medium: 1 hour
        * Small: 1 hour and 33 minutes
    Washing Machines:
        * Spinning & Drying: 28.8 minutes
        * Spinning Only: 2 hours and 7 minutes
        *  Water Dispenser: 1 hour and 43 minutes 

These are estimates, and actual usage may vary depending on the specific appliance model and its efficiency. While the new tariffs may impact your electricity bill, understanding your appliance's energy consumption can help you make informed choices and potentially reduce your overall energy usage.
