From the Flight article:
The bulk of the power comes from two 250kVA generators mounted to each engine, which also act as starter units. “That’s half a megawatt in each engine,” says Sinnett. “The units are designed to be activated with one or both, and with both we start quicker.”
I don't know the ratio between generating capacity and power absorbed during starting.
But you're right.... gets "interesting"....
