I believe this is due to a significant percentage of population here
using electricity for all of their power requirements, ie including
heating.  We don't have any natural gas hookup in our townhouse, and
many other people don't either.  I know that our power requirements
went up significantly after our baby arrived, wow, those things
generate a lot of laundry!  Our average now is 43kWh.

I think another thing that brings up the average is the number of
marijuana grow-ops in our province.  Apparantly it is our third
largest industry behind timber and construction ($7bn annually).
