NB The upper graph is titled "Gas + Electricity" so for January 2025 electricity is about 4,000kWh and gas is about 15,000kWh per annum.
Electricity at 456 Wh? Fridge and (separate) freezer account for about
70Wh, food preparation about 180Wh, computer for about 70Wh. Most of the rest is for occasional heating - of me, not the weed. ;-}}Yesterday's gas per annum was 11,719kWh; electricity was 4,038kWh.

Both well above OFGEM 'medium'.
I'd call that a large house.
So would I. Though since it was built all of the neighbouring houses have been extended/rebuilt as larger houses !
...
Is that 365 times yesterday's consumption, so what a year would be at that rate, or the sum of the previous 365 days consumption?
(The latter obviously changes only very slowly day-by-day.)

The difference between meter readings 52 weeks apart. (In the case of gas, converted from cubic metres to kWh.)
I'm assuming that the graph shows either a Jan to Jan consumption (total for 365 days) or Jul to Jul consumption (again a total of 365 days). Any intermediate points would also be the consumption for the previous 365 days from that date. If not that is a lot of consumption in the Summer months for central heating in the previous years :)
All plotted points are the difference in meter readings 52 weeks apart.
I just chose to highlight January and July on the X-axis.
Even worse, if you have your gas meter removed to save on the standing charge, then after about a year, Transco will turn up and if there is any 3/4 inch metal pipework on *their* side of the meter (as is the case in hundreds of thousands of houses built in the 60's and 70's) they will dig up the pavement or road and chop your supply outside your boundary.
Any subsequent reconnection will be deemed to be a new service that has to meet current regulations (= V expensive).
Yes, the paperwork explains that, after a year, they will do more than just seal the gas valve. If this issue was just the standing charge during no-usage months, then the restoring of the supply would occur before the one-year point was met.
Incidentally, the gas was moled in here in 2002 and is all plastic. PA
