>In the end there's no practical utility to this. We just pretend that we're living in a world where you get a 100W light bulb and know exactly what it will cost you, and not a world where half your bulbs claim to be 100W but are actually 14W with 100W-incandescent-equivalent and such.

Where i live, the pricing is based on the amount of energy "consumed" during a month. plus we use 220v.

i use the kwh extensively, my induction cooker is rated at 1300Watts so i know by running it for 1 hour i am consuming 1.3kwh.

my monthly "consumption" before installing a 5kwh solar on-grid used to be around 300Kwh during summer months so over time i have learned to "reduce" my monthly usage, aka kwh by reducing my electric hot water geyser( going to solar water heater) (2kw geyser).

the kwh is definitely a good indicator for me
