The Ethereum Energy Consumption Index has been designed with the same purpose, methods and assumptions as the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index. The details of the latter can be found here. In essence, the following steps are followed in order to estimate the network’s total electricity consumption:

First, the total mining revenues are calculated and converted to USD.
Then it is estimated what part of mining revenues are being spent on electricity costs.
Lastly, the resulting number is easily converted to kilowatt-hours by dividing it by the average price per kilowatt-hour.
The only difference between the two indices is that the average price paid per kilowatt-hour (KWh) for Bitcoin miners is estimated at about 5 cents per KWh, while Ethereum miners are assumed to be paying 7 cents per KWh on average. This is due to the fact that Ethereum runs Ethash, an “ASIC-resistant” proof-of-work algorithm. Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) led to the industrialization of Bitcoin mining, while Ethereum mining is done with Graphics processing units (GPUs) found in every home computer.
