Comparable to your's. My Server/NAS usually is at about 15W to provide me and family/friends with a few selfhosted services. If i use it for backup or access some old photos/dvds it may spin up another hdd or two and it may draw additional power. (Or use the cpu). The cable modem and wifi router need another 20W combined.
I think that should be around 300kW per year. A bit more than the fridge in the kitchen claims to use per its energy label.
(edit: it's always very interesting to ask where people live (and what they're paying for energy) when asking questions like this. I'm not sure but i believe 300W in Texas is like 40W in Germany ;-)
