and i dont think CPU is the reason for your high spike of electricity bill.
instead i would say your PC usage duration is the contribution to the electricity bill.

I've not come by many people, other than
empire23 and myself, that's capable of (or more like INTENTIONALLY) generating more than 200W per second power draw.

You look at most people's usage, they'll probably game.
Gaming for 5 hours? pfftt, that barely loads the CPU and GPU to reach the full power draw of each, to the power draw fluctuates.
To give you an idea, my Core i5-4670K without GPU idles at 40w power draw, on 100% processor load (video encoding) it draws 125w from the wall. Running cards like say the Fury X or Radeon R9 390X on Furmark stress test drains some 360w from the wall. If you add Full CPU load to it it'll probably reach 420w on the wall.
Again that 420w is from extreme circumstances where all items are stressed.
LOL if people think that putting 4 high-end graphic cards and 1200w PSU immediately raises your electricity bill to the roof. It doesn't.
If you see your electricity bill raised - monitor your air cond usage perhaps?
