I think 5MW would power about 100 homes in South Florida. I know in my case that I average about 50KWh a day in the Winter an 100KWh in the Summer. Use of power in my house (in order):
1) 2 zones of A/C which run frequently
2) Pool Pump (8-10 hours a day)
3) 2-3 Pentium computers run 10-14 hours a day
4) 2 refrigerators
My house is typical for my neighborhood, so FPL (Florida Power and Light) must be generating an enormous amount of power for the 8+ Million residents of S. FL.
