Yes, refrigerators are energy hogs, partly because they are drawing power 24/7. They turn electricity into cold. Think about that for a while. This why air conditioners are energy hogs too. Your fridge can take up to as much as 10% of your home energy consumption, which is pretty crazy for a single appliance. This includes comparisons to energy consumption required for heating/cooling, electronics, water heater, lighting, etc.
