Indeed. If you're going to be heating all those houses with electricity, instead of gas, coal, or wood, then you'll likely need much more than 1kW per home. Especially when winter hits -30C.
If you build your house better, you won't need very much energy at all to heat or cool it. The passive house standard used in Sweden calls for a maximum of 20 kWh/(m²yr), which translates to ~3,700 kWh per year for a 2,000 ft² home.
Here in asia we use 1.5KWh approx per year. It is a real thing
What do you mean? Kilowatts isn't a measure of energy. Kilowatts pet year makes no sense. Asia is a continent with many different climates.
I meant KWH(units) its a typo
And the country is India
It would be nice if much of the waste heat could be expelled in ways more similar to Iceland's geothermal solutions.
Russia has directed waste heat fron reactors into the district heating network, it's perfectly realistic.
Not just Russia, it was relatively common across the Soviet bloc.
The Bruce Nuclear plant in Ontario had an industrial development adjacent to it to take advantage of steam from the plant, but I don't think it ever really went anywhere and they demolished the infrastructure related to it in the early 2000s.
