Yes – as can be demonstrated by the following example. Looking at this on an annual basis … on the assumption that electricity costs £0.095 per kW/Hr, and that a 1.6Kw dryer is used for 200 dries a day for 300 days a year, it would cost approximately £32.40/year. In comparison, assuming 60,000 paper towels were used instead – costs would be more like £450.00/year.
