I believe you are correct but then you have to add in the power the PC uses as the index needs the power of the GPU, CPU and NVMe SSD as well. It's not in isolation. Then there's the controllers that need charging. They are small usage I wager but it all eventually adds up and if all I do daily is play on my PC then what explains 300 kWh a month? My food cold storage is 60 and heating food can go up to 10 a month at best I believe. I think it all just adds up. 

Also when I play VR I'm in in for multiple hours or until the batteries die.

Valve default settings do this. Most just don't know it does this. You have to go through the settings to find the power savings mode.

I've considered that but since I don't know much about it I don't want to.
