That's pretty much normal. The SE offices are very big, and AC is one of the worst culprits in energy consumption both in households and businesses anywhere. I'm actually surprised that the server farm takes MORE than what AC does, even if it's actually believable, given that every FFXIV server is not really a single server, but a cluster of several servers.
