This is basically the position of the major cloud providers, they will all take care of it for you by 2030 or so. A rough guide if you don’t have any better data is that with no traffic to a system it will be 10% utilization and use 30% of peak power, 25% utilization uses 50% of peak power, and at 50% utilization it uses 75% of peak power.

If increasing hardware is the “work harder” answer to header bidding, then “work smarter” is the better option.
