They don't, but knowing what you are using when, can empower you to
work out ways to save.

Every electricity consuming device I have has a number on it followed by
the letters KW. That tells me how much power it consumes as long as I
leave it on.


No it doesn't, it tells you the *maximum* power it will consume. Most
equipment takes only a fraction of the power indicated on the plate
most of the time.
