    despite using only 20kWh/month

    Uh, that’s really a lot.

      According to the US EIA as of 2022, the average annual amount of electricity sold to a U.S. residential electric-utility customer was 10,791 kilowatt-hours (kWh), or an average of about 899 kWh per month.

      You think using 2.2% of that is excessive?

        No, watt, not kilowatt. And US is an outlier by far, with 12 kw/month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society
