Most energy-efficient method to cook brown rice? (beehaw.org)

Because I've been eating rice more often I realized via my energy bill that cooking in a pot on an electric plate for 30 minutes consumes massive amounts of electricity. Therefore I'm currently browsing for rice cookers, but the info on energy efficiency leaves much to be desired.

What would be the most efficient method to cook brown rice? Which appliance would be recommendable and ideally be in line with the Buy It For Life philosophy?

I can cook wild rice in my ninja foodie (a pressure cooker) in 10 minutes. I do white rice in 5. I think it uses 1500 watts but it is all computer controlled so it stops heating as soon as it reaches temperature.
