Increasing the power of a machine typically leads to higher energy consumption. Power is defined as the rate at which energy is used, so if the power output of a machine is increased, it means that more energy is being consumed per unit of time. This can occur by increasing the work done by the machine in a given time period or by increasing its efficiency in delivering more output. For example, if a motor runs at a higher power, it will require more electrical energy to achieve that higher output. Thus, to increase the power of a machine, more energy must be supplied to it, leading to an increase in overall energy consumption.
