Je dirais "Donc moins les tourelles d'extraction sont utilisées, moins de l’énergie est consommée. ", mais j'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas correct, il y a quelque chose qui cloche dans ma construction, non?

Explanation:
Au niveau de sa construction, votre phrase est correcte. Ell n'est cependant pas joyeuse. Selon le contexte, j'essaierais de la tourner différemment:

Une utilisation réduite des tourelles entraîne une diminution de la consommation d'énergie.

Ou bien: la consommation d'énergie est fonction du dégré d'utilisation des tourelles..

Bon courage
