Any chance that the new power supply is larger? Say going from a 150 watt to
a 250 watt. It is a larger drain but really not significant (the equivalent
of adding a 100 watt bulb). Operating systems in and of themselves do not
increase power draw.

If however you have additional drives, fans, etc. this will increase draw.
Is this person perhaps using photo voltaic or other means of self
generation? I only ask because a have an acquaintance that use photo cell
generated electric. At his house every watt makes a difference.
