Do research regarding MOCA standards… I use them to wire backhaul my ASUS ZenWIFI Pro ET-12's… I have ATT 2gb Fiber. I get over 2gb/s wired. My wireless speeds can reach around 1gb/s near my router that's wired backhauled via the MOCA device.
0.003 kW/device * 2 (devices) * 24 (hours/day) * 365 (days/year) * 6 years = 315 kWh (for 6 years)
Average for US currently is 15.45 cents/kWh [energybot.com]:
315 kWh * 0.1545 $/kWh = $48.72
The max power the supply generates is 6 W, so it can be as much as double the above calculation, but usually supplies are over-spec'd, and assuming half the capacity (on average) seems a reasonable starting point.
So, yeah, you are spending a chunk of change on power as well. I can't conclude either way whether that cost is significant for each individual. Wholeheartedly agree, though, that maybe the $170 that one might spend is worth the effort of just pulling cat6 cable.

It could very well end up like $120 extra for 6 years for the life of your setup. Not a whole lot but still.

Please stop giving advice in forums… you're not helping anything.
Hint: 3W / 1000 gives you your kW, and you wanna multiply by $/kWh to get $.
Definitely spend the $50. Unless the house is super open, unfinished basement, large attic, .etc.

Been using Moca for 3.5 years in an 8k sq foot two story house. ATT fiber 1gb up/down. I max this at every device throughout the house. Never had as much as a hiccup. Plug and play from day 1. Two wireless APs max as well. I could've spent a week or two crawling through the attic wiring up a dozen rooms. This took 25 minutes.
