Microsoft Edge drains too much battery life

Ever since I've used this computer, I've noticed that there's a gradual decline in battery life. Just recently, I went to

Control Panel -> Power Options -> Battery -> Battery Usage by App

and it seems that Edge uses a whopping 52% of my battery life; 45% in use and 7% in the Background. How do I fix this (or at least, cause edge to use less battery)?

Note: Microsoft claims, "Tests show that when browsing with Microsoft Edge, your battery lasts 36-53% longer per charge than when browsing with Chrome, Firefox, or Opera on Windows 10.", but I'm not sure.

Hi there.

Edge would be better to speak to people like SKY GO and sort out why that application won't work with SKY GO -- I know SKY GO uses Silverlight - which is hideous in itself but surely two big companies (ms and SKY) should be able to speak to each other to sort out a sensible policy for handling DRM content and ensure that if Edge is to replace IE11 then it can handle an app LOADS of people still use on a PC.

These days the battle is over CONTENT and if Edge can't deliver then even if it is the most modern / fastest / most secure etc browser people won't switch to it until it can handle commonly used apps.

Seems like this team is hunting around for an application to run EDGE on -- apart from the PDF function which is good I don't bother with it myself at all -- Firefox for normal browsing and IE11 for running CITRIX and SKY GO.
