With the price of Bitcoin and having to pay quite high electricity costs being based in the UK, I started to look at coins that had algorithms that used less electricity and found the below.
HiroCoin - X11 GroestlCoin - Groestl Darkcoin - X11 Quark - Quark Heavy - Heavy Myraid - Myraid Groestl
I have specifically been mining GroestlCoin over the last few days. I get about 22 Mh/s at 600 watts with 2 7970 and 3 7950 cards. This has worked out to be a lot more profitable than the multipools and many other coins.
Are the any other coins that are much more energy efficient?

qubitcoin is also power efficient

Blackcoin requires just proof of stake so that must be the most efficent as the wallet is not using large amounts of cpu or gpu just bandwidth.
New coins are only added in proportion to those that already hold/use the currency so I guess thats either fair or not. Ive often wondered if all the fuss and bother of mining is really important to a coin's success, Quark mostly finished with new coins but still requires mining as will Bitcoin at some point so is that worse or better, asic covers it for BTC but not QRK

GroestlCoin would be the most energy effiency algo, then x11

With my r9 280x + hd 7970 I consume less power from the wall with X11 then in Groestl.
Groestl consumes an average of ~415 Watts from the wall giving 15.12Mh/s while x11 cunsumes an average of ~370 Watts, giving 4.8Mh/s
(with optimal miner parameters for the cards and athalon II X2 270 cpu+4GB memory) (all measured with a power consumption device plugged into the wall power socket.)
So the conclusion is X11 is more power efficient than Groestl!

Anyone do a test for Scrypt-OG? It boasts that it is 8x less memory intensive than Scrypt. Wonder how that fairs to Groestl, X11, and others.

just did the test for scrypt-og aka nfactor 6, with same hardware as before, I get 8.04Mh/s and consume an average of ~448W so X11 is most efficient.

Probably just least optimized, not most energy efficient.

I'm curious about total profitability of X11 vs various scrypt that covers electricity cost. Maybe coinwarz or whatmine will add X11 to their table soon.

This guy says differently: Someone on the french forum about mining i come from run some tests with a simple rig setup, with 2 x R9 280X All tests ran with the same frequency etc.. Each algo can be optimized, but for comparison, it's good. Power at the wall: Idle 80-90w scrypt 550W - 2 x 720khs Scrypt-N 537W - 2 x 350khs Scrypt-jane 485W- 2 x 133khs Groestl 271W - 2 x 7 025khs Myr-G 295W - 2 x 9 920khs skein 440 W - 2 x 212 500khs Keccak 430W - 2 x 316 000khs X11 285W - 2 x 2 080khs Result : Groestl is the most gpu friendly algo, for power, temp and noise, even better than X11 a little tuning on one of mine: 4 R9 280x + 1 x 7950. 3 R9 are overclocked at 1250MHz, the 4th at 1150MHz - 1.2v The 7950 runs at 1100MHz - 1.15v Memory for all 4 run at 1000MHz Look at the temp (scrypt : between 75 to 83°C) sgminer 4.1.0 - Started: [2014-04-04 20:27:39] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (5s):38.01M (avg):37.30Mh/s | A:2108 R:0 HW:0 WU:136.074/m ST: 1 SS: 40 NB: 18 LW: 1538 GF: 0 RF: 0 Connected to Pool 0 (stratum) diff 0.000 as user azhago.2 Block: 244150fe...

Just saw that WhatMine has x11 already in place. Good to know.

they are just less optimized, not really more efficient, but the heavycoin algo is different it is really more efficient, someone in the official thread explained why
