I remember working out at least for my witness specifically that most transactions on the hive blockchain use about 0.0000008 watts, this was back when the blockchain was averaging 120-250tx a block and my witness is not very efficient due to it's age, running a minimum of 200w/h just being on.
Since a live synced Witness node, for just block creation and validation can comfortably run on a 4 watt ultra low power mini server/pc it's outrageously efficient.
When you add API nodes it'll be more but not as much as you'd think since the API suite has been heavily improved performance wise over the last year or two.
I'm a hive witness supporting the blockchain please consider voting for me! - Find out more here!
I've seen some posts about the hardware people run and it does not have to be anything too special. The whole Hive infrastructure probably only uses a few kW. That's nothing compared to the data centres out there.
