Think of this in a parallel to speed and distance: Power is the speed you are going and Energy is the distance driven.

Therefore Energy (kiloWatt-hour) is not an average of the Power you are consuming over a given period of time (that would be kiloWatt/hour). Energy is the integral (mathematical operation) of the Power function.
