Standby power is the energy consumed by appliances while switched off or not performing their primary task. About 5 percent of residential electricity - corresponding to 50 W/home - is now consumed by appliances in standby mode. International efforts to reduce this may lower standby power consumption in individual units, but the rising number of appliances used will probably cause a gradual increase in standby energy consumption.
