In the table below, you'll find the average annual standby energy costs for a device on standby for 20 hours per day (that's 7,300 hours per year).
Turning all of this tech off at the wall will save you £20.40. Every little helps when you’re grappling with high energy bills, but it’s a far cry from some media reports claiming you could save £15 a year by turning off your TV alone.
