Depends on the temperature of the water you start with, the temperature of the surroundings, and the efficiency of the freezer you're using. It also depends on how big an ice cube you want. It could be zero if you're at the south pole, or above 30,000 feet altitude.

In relation to BTU's it takes 12000 btu to melt one ton of ice in an insulated area in 24 hours. I'll let you do the math from here

The answer won't be in watts, though it could be in watt-hours.
