Large Home scenario vs benchmark in California
This deterministic scenario applies 1,600 kWh/month for the large home profile and excludes delivery fees, taxes, and fixed utility charges.
Scenario assumptions and variability
Higher household electricity demand from larger conditioned area and greater appliance intensity.
Pool pumps, EV charging, and intensive cooling can materially increase monthly usage.
Methodology and disclosure
Pilot scope: this profile route is a rollout-gated scenario surface. State estimator routes remain the canonical entry point for broad estimator intent. Current active pilot coverage is 16 routes across 4 states.
Estimates on this route are deterministic scenarios for planning context. They are not utility quotes. Calculations are energy-only and exclude delivery charges, taxes, and fixed monthly fees.
For benchmark intent, use average bill pages. For broader interactive intent, use state calculator pages.
