I read it. You apparently missed my point. 1.5KW continuously is a big increase in power consumption. It is even greater if the consumption occurred only partially during the days - 3KW if only 12 hours, 4.5 KW if only 8 hours.

Trying to find that level of usage limits the consumption candidates dramatically. It is unlikely, but possible, that there was an error in the meter report. Since the report is done via remote electronic reporting, it tends to rule out clerical / meter-reading / transcription errors.
