A Cambridge study clocks Ethereum's annual electricity draw at 7.87 GWh and ranks the network second-lowest on market-value-adjusted energy intensity across the proof-of-stake chains the researchers examined.
The print gives $ETH a concrete position in an energy efficiency comparison that has grown relevant to institutional due diligence.
Where other proof-of-stake networks fall in the same ranking is the live question the study opens. The Cambridge measurement The 7.87 GWh figure is an annual estimate.
Cambridge's chosen metric adjusts raw consumption against market value, which rewards chains that move significant economic activity per unit of energy spent.
