From press release:

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®) today released a comprehensive study examining the residential energy consumption of consumer electronics in the United States. The independent study, commissioned by CEA and performed by TIAX LLC, is the most accurate and exhaustive exploration of consumer electronics energy consumption to date. CEA supports energy efficiency through research, voluntary programs including ENERGY STAR®, industry-led standards and consumer education initiatives such as the recently launched myGreenElectronics.org.

The study, titled “Energy Consumption by Consumer Electronics in U.S. Residences,” shows that consumer electronics consume 11 percent of residential electricity and four percent of total U.S. electricity. The study focuses on 16 product categories, which together account for the largest share of residential consumer electronics energy consumption. Three product categories account for approximately two-thirds of consumer electronics residential energy consumption (or approximately eight percent of residential electricity consumption): analog televisions, desktop personal computers, and set-top boxes for cable and satellite services.
