My best guess is on a reasonably loaded Intel SP1 system, a SSH connection setup takes 0.007 Joules of power.
A random machine I picked out has 15200 SSH connection setups a day
And that is only assuming one party , so likely 2x, so all of the SSH bruteforces going around is costing around 38kW of power.
on one hand, not that bad (there are some DCs that can put that into a single rack), on the other hand, that's quite a lot of wasted CPU energy
