[Spoiler: Clickbait title] How Bitcoin mining devastated this New York town | MIT Technology Review

> Cryptocurrency notoriously devours electricity; each Bitcoin transaction consumes 1,173 kilowatts.

This is misleading.  There is no correlation between the number of bitcoin transactions mined per day and the amount of energy used by bitcoin miner in a day. 

It's not an error by the author.  It's used as a method to perpetuate a narrative that bitcoin transactions consume energy and thus by transacting on bitcoin you are adding to bitcoin's energy consumption.
