the boxes i have running 24/7 use about 20w max each, and about half that at idle or ‘normal’ loads.

There are some really efficient systems out there, but power requirements depend a lot on what is run.

A simple website is very different that a photo gallery running content ID for example.

Between 50W (idle) and 140W (max load). Most of the time it is about 60W.

So about 1.5kWh per day, or 45kWh per month. I pay 0,22€ per kWh (France, 100% renewable energy) so about 9-10€ per month.

Are you including nuclear power in renewable or is that a particular provider who claims net 100% renewable?

My server uses about 6-7 kWh a day, but its a dual CPU Xeon running quite a few dockers. Probably the thing that keeps it busiest is being a file server for our family and a Plex server for my extended family (So a lot of the CPU usage is likely transcodes).
