All in all, the minis aren't that bad on power. The Novas only draw
a couple hundred watts and usually aren't powered on at the same time.
The pdp11/34a is a hog, though; the month I started working on that one
the power bill went to $75.
I believe the largest amount of computer power running in the
house at once was the time when my wife had both PCs up and I had my
DECstation, VAXstation, and InterAct fired up at the same time. The
LAN took a beating that day.

What DG "head" hasn't?
Cheers.
