It runs at 250W 24/7?

  170w to 300w for an older (2010-2015 era) dual-processor Xeon idling is what I've measured at my house across numerous Supermicro builds. 2018 and newer server chips may have better low-power idle mode support.

    I want to add that I do thoroughly enjoy and appreciate my trusty old 2U Supermicro dualie from 2014-era Xeon parts. Even if it does idle at 170w, the build was less than $2k, it has 50 cores, 384GB ram, tons of storage.. 1 year uptime, so sick! Has not let me down yet! Even if the mobo croaks, it's easy to source a cost-effective replacement from fleabay.

  Welli turn it off out of working hours but it idles at 250w yeah. Peak power draw is much higher.
