Both @DigiEconomist and @CambridgeAltFin make their data available to the public. I have had both data sets integrated into my Bitcoin model since early 2021.
Here's what happens when you combine their electricity estimates with historical network hashrate data.

Both data sets assume that the Bitcoin mining network now is LESS efficient now than it was two years ago in 2020.
@DigiEconomist model was showing that at the time of the China Mining ban, the #bitcoin network was operating at the AVERAGE efficiency of a 5 year old Canaan 741.
