More than likely the reason for the high electrical usage is transformers. A lot of Industrial type equipment (motors, pumps, etc.) run on a much higher voltage at 3 phase, where most homes run lower voltage, single phase. There is no "on/off" switch on these transformers to convert line current to what they need, so hence the high usage, as they run 24/7 whether power is neede or not.
How much electricity is used at a resort, as mentioned? To keep the Tourii comfortable in their room with the A/C on high and the windows all wide open, every swimming pool, pond pump motor going around the clock, lights on in the lobby and grounds, charging their golf cart overnight....
