You are confusing energy and current. You consume, and pay for, energy -not current.
For the purpose of billing its customers, an electricity utility measures energy in units called kilowatt hours. In the UK, a kilowatt hour is also called a 'unit', short for 'Board of Trade unit'. The Board of Trade, which no longer exists, used to be the government organisation responsible for setting energy prices.
A unit, or kilowatt hour, of energy is the amount of energy consumed at the rate of one kilowatt over a period of one hour. So, to determine the number of units that an electrical load 'consumes', you simply multiply its power in kilowatts by the time for which it operates, in hours.
