A question about the study question 「エアコンは多くの____を消費します。」

The answer the question is looking for is 電力 which I can understand why that is correct, but why is it incorrect to use 電気?

電気 (でんき) = electricity in everyday life, like lights, plugs, appliances
電力(でんりょく) = the amount of power, like how much electricity is being made, sent or used.

消費する(しょうひする) means : to use up an amount of something
So because the sentence uses 消費する it needs 電力
