I know EDPs are engine driven.

They do not consume power in the on position as they are "powered off". ie. if you lose all electrics (battery included) the EDPs will still pressurize the hyrdaulic system. They consume electricity off a battery bus (which particular bus varies based on the model) when selected to OFF.
