The market service costs 40 units per hour (+2880 activation). An unmodified large tower consumes 40, with sov bonuses less than 40. Naturally, in your home citadel, you do not just have that running, you also have cloning (+10/hour and 720 activation), probably industry reprocessing as well if you do some mining (+5/hour and 300 initial cost), industry (+12/hour and 864 initial cost). That brings you to 77 Blocks per hour, ignoring the initial cost. And this is just one citadel, for industry you need several EC and invention is a separate module (+12/hour and 864 initial cost).

Which still puts it above the current fuel consumption of a large tower and still not including coming modules as well as still a lot more than what you could do in outposts.

And it is not cheaper to run that stuff in an AStrahus compared to a POS because you can on- and offline that POS for just 1 hour for reprocessing, for instance, whereas as citadel services take 3 days worth of fuel just to online them. Try again bub.
