Hey OP! I have an R730xd as well, and it's way less power hungry than the DL380 Gen10 I have. Check the power settings in the iDRAC and iLO and set them to conservative power profiles and see if that makes a difference. My whole rack (30A 120v UPS, 1x UDM PRO, 1x USW-AGGREGATION, 1x USW-16-PROMAX POE, 1x DL380 GEN10, 1x R730xd, 2x Minisforum Ryzen 9 PCs, 1x 27" 1440p monitor for NVR monitoring) only pulls ~500W on average. 500W = 0.5kWh x 24 = 12 kWh/day over 30 days = 360kWh. At my $0.17 per kWh rate that's only about $61/mo in consumed electricity. I'd recommend getting some power monitors, I have mine pulled into Homeassistant and monitor the biggest circuits I bought this version because it was reasonably priced and compatible with homeassistant and/or your own MQTT instance if desired: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5Q9Q4SX?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1 Should help you narrow where the usage comes from.
