With that low usage, you might as well go off-grid. Your standard service fee must be half your bill! The more efficient you are, the more each KW costs you.
I'm efficient with electricity as far as typical Ahmericans go, but I have Christmas lights (LED) on the roof, a 16ft tree with LED lights, and a 7ft tree with LED lights. Then there is my assortment of robotic vacuums and floor cleaners, and a 44W PC that I leave on 24x7. Heck, I bought the Roku 2 instead of the Roku 3 because it draws only 2W instead of 4W. Something most would not factor into their purchasing decision.
I applaud your effort. I just can't be bothered to flip a switch each time I microwave something, when the power draw is only a watt. For $0.70 per year, I'll remain lazy. Plus the clock on the microwave is useful to me.
