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?

you might be confusing some units, that is also total energy used by nation divided by population, not a household energy usage. If you are using 12kW constantly, you would be using 8640kwh/month, which is way more than 400x of that 20kwh/month figure.
