The P300 is only about 50% efficient, so if you have a 50w load (say, a preamp and CD player left in standby modes), the P300 draws about 100w from the wall. But if you are the kind who forgets to turn out lights when you leave a room...no biggee.

IMO if you can afford a system that benefits from a P300, then the electric bill shouldn't be a problem. Most solid state components, especially digital, benefit from being left on 24/7.
