Can you give tell us how much ?
I roughly estimated the cost here in France : 1W on 24/7/365 costs 1€/year.

Leaving a green HD on 24/7 (Western Digital 1TB GP) costs me 5€/year 
here. Leaving the whole server on (4 HDD, DVB device, ADSL box, 
networking gear, etc.) costs me 65€/year... Much less than, say, hot water.
