There seems to be a lot of information up to around 2001. Then, the amount of material seems to drop off sharply. Maybe better searches will reveal more. This PowerPoint file is quite dated, now. It seems almost funny, when it discusses the amounts of power used by various equipment - "Average PC + monitor" rated at 150 watts. OK, monitor power usage has declined as CRTs have disappeared, but a PC with less than a 300 watt power supply? Some of the figures seem suspect, but maybe your 20% figure makes sense, when viewed against the 1999 figure of 4.7%. "High tech accounted for only 4.7% of all electricity purchased by U.S. manufacturing industries in 1999." ipcmail.ipc.org What about cooling? Seems to me that has to be figured into the power equation - and with so much silicon running very hot these days, a significant cost (and a lot of wasted energy).
