The one thing that's interesting to me is the trend line which is emerging in the Daily Energy consumed per Occupant plot. Its already quite pronounced with quite a good correlation. You could use that formula to roughly predict/estimate the consumption of any "average" residential home, just based on the number of people living there. Of course you can't generalise because as you can see some households use a lot more and others a lot less.

In CoCT we have to permanently assume the bent over position

I'm in City of CT and my power is much cheaper than yours. I'm on prepaid and paying less than a Rand for my first 3 or 4 hundred units each month. I'll check the exact scale of costs tomorrow.
