As we do not measure an electrical power rating but the energy consumed,
it is quite adequate.

yes

If you calculate the power by dividing the energy by time, you also
divide the units. This automatically results in "W" (Or another unit of
power)
The Values stored in the Database represent the energy measured and
should be labelled accordingly. You can calculate whatever you want from it.
If you add a Frontendview showing the daily temperature difference you
wouldn't rename the temperature measurements to "Temperaturedifference
per day" and change the unit to "°C/d" either, would you?
