That seems like a pretty good deal, only a small additional price (+5% to the service price) to pay for the ability to get high speed, (mostly) low latency connection where previously not possible. I think it’s pretty impressive they got a phased array which transmits >500km down to 65W.

That is still significant. About 600 kWh a year, which would cost me
about USD 66.

Plus all the electricity required for snow/ice melt - of which I'll need
a lot, given that I live North of 60°.

YMMV, depending on your cost of electricity.
