Red face Electrical power for B744 engine start?

Hello:
From our company B744 procedure that requires us to switch off all of galley power and inflight entertainment system before engine start if only one electrical power source available. (one APU generator or one external ground power),I just unable to figure out do we need that much of electrical power to start engine.because we use pneumatic starter to crank engine and igniter will not drain too much current.isn"t?
