Here’s a good break-down of energy use for boiling the water

Which cook tops are more energy efficient?

It really depends on what you are doing. For boiling water a simple immersion element is the most efficient, and gas the least efficient, with induction, resistive hotplate and microwave, in that order, in between. Summary of some testing I did a few years ago: Boiling water for a cuppa - which is the most efficient way? Ever wondered which is the most energy efficient way to boil a cup of hot water? I’ve done a comparison using several methods: Induction cooktop with kettle +375ml water …
