I may be a bit late on this one but Philippe is absolutely correct: Stand-by
consumption on household appliances amounts easily to 10% of the total
(yearly) electricity consumption. 

 

Several projects (in Denmark) have demonstrated that it is possible to
reduce stand-by consumption in households to 1/3 of the 'normal level', by
means of communication and help from technical devices. Some households
rather easily reduce all stand-by consumption just by becoming aware of it,
whereas other households mainly reduce their stand-by consumption by means
of technical devices. It all depends on whether the family is generally
interested in energy savings and whether technical details such as how easy
it is turn off the stand-by either at the appliance or by reaching for the
socket outlet on the wall. 

 

Thou shalt go and watch out for all the small red and green indicators and
turn off the appliances in question.
