I don’t know if anyone else besides me enjoys analyzing consumption and numbers related to the electricity and gas price caps and their forecasts, so here is just an attempt:
Forecast: Electricity 2,400 kWh per year, consumption since 06/04/22 at 2,917 kWh
Forecast: Gas 20,000 kWh per year, consumption since 06/04/22 at 52.81 m3 (cubic meters) → converted with factor 10 results in 528.1 kWh
The following is for those who want more detailed information:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single-family house (Leipzig district) with underfloor heating / tiles throughout
Built according to energy saving regulations (gas condensing boiler plus solar thermal system)
Approx. 139 sq m (1,495 sq ft) of living area
Residents are two adults, no children, home all day
Moved in early August 2022
Electricity and gas meters have been running since about mid-June 2022
Until September 2022, supply was via temporary contract; since October 2022, basic supply
Special features: sauna (operated once a week using high-voltage power) and home brewing beer (about once a month)
Thermal final energy per sq m: 37.57 kWh/m2a – auxiliary final energy per sq m: 2.87 kWh/m2a – primary energy per sq m: 46.5 kWh/m2a
Edit: Unfortunately, I was no longer able to change the title to "...-price cap," which would be more accurate.

I believe the house drying was partly done using regular electricity. For this reason, initial consumption costs after moving into a new build, which do not match any typical household, make meaningful comparisons difficult.

Built according to energy saving regulations (gas condensing boiler plus solar thermal system)
Approx. 139 m² (1,495 sq ft) living space
Residents: two adults, no children, at home all day
Moved in early August 2022
Electricity and gas meters running since mid-June 2022
Temporary supply until September 2022, standard supply since October 2022
Special features: sauna (operated once a week with three-phase power) and home brewing (about once a month)

Edit: Unfortunately, I couldn’t update the title to "...-price cap," which would be more accurate. Your gas forecast is off. It will be meaningful after a full year including two cold periods (winter / spring). You are extrapolating from summer figures including a historically warm autumn.
I have been analyzing for 7 years. This year’s consumption is the lowest due to warm temperatures.
Two years ago, during the harsh winter, consumption was highest.

Two years ago, during the harsh winter, we had the highest consumption. I can confirm that.
New build 2020, solar water heating
1st heating year (after moving in): 15,000 kWh gas
2nd heating year (despite family growth): < 10,000 kWh
Prices (somehow I seem to have missed the “increase” bracket 🙂 Consumption prices: 6¢ gas, 24.5¢ electricity
Might have the same provider as Winniefred

Please go ahead and start already, just for us here. 🙂 I’m sure you have forecasts from your utility providers. ;-)
Winniefred4 Nov 2022 09:35I checked, and our highest gas consumption was 11,535 kWh (2020-21), the lowest was 8,239 kWh (2019-20), and the average over the last five years was 9,679 kWh.
Unfortunately, I can’t provide a complete record for electricity at the moment because one invoice is missing (due to the electricity provider going bankrupt), and one bill was estimated. I would say the average is around 2,000 kWh for electricity.
@Osnabruecker If your username refers to your place of residence, then we are very far apart :p.

Winniefred4 Nov 2022 11:06Forecasts are difficult, in my opinion. I have the impression that annual maintenance of our heating system actually reduces consumption – but it also causes additional costs. In the end, it all depends on the weather. If it is -10°C (14°F) outside, you simply have to heat more than at a mere 6°C (43°F). In this respect, given the current situation, one can only hope that the coming winter will be mild.
