Microsoft power grab!

Just had a new smart meter fitted, what with all these price increases thought it might be a good idea, paranoia aside!
It shows a background reading of about 40/50W, fridge etc.. I suppose.
When the computer is turned on the reading is about 250/300W, but here's the best part, when running MSFS the reading jumps to 750/800W!
That makes a single flight to NY around £1, cheap really.
(Sorry about the click bait headline)

It does too, and noticeably so.
