My energy supplier, Octopus (did I previously mention free £50 each if you sign up via my link? LOL) have published some quite comprehensive data on how home energy usage has changed since social distancing and working from home began. It's based on one week of half hourly data from 115,000 smart meters (which I know are the spawn of the devil as far as some are concerned).
I thought some here might be interested in the detail.

Unrelated, somewhere around this I found the comment that "most people use statistics like a drunken man uses a lamp-post - for support, not illumination" which amused me.
