Stationary energy can be big and heavy and can depend on location. Like a coal fired power plant is too big and heavy to move and thousands of tons of coal can be piled up next to it on the ground and has to be shoveled into the plant with great effort. And a hydroelectric dam has to be on a river. Things like that.
Mobile energy has to be light and not depend on location. A car engine is only a few hundred pounds and can be carried around in the car that needs the energy. The fuel is liquid and can just be pumped out of a tank to run the engine.

Most likeley because there, they can secure the cords, and lines because they're sure the stationary isn't going anywhere, so most of the time, it's taken advantage by using mre electrical supplies than is truly needed. As in a mobile, you gotta go go go, so they probably have limits to the amount of power available to be used at once and plus, they can't use high tech cord and wires like they can in a stationary.

an object in motion would consume more energy than the same object at rest because of the energy requirement to over cone physical obstacles like inertia, gravity an friction.
as an earlier answerer said though you could have a stationary object like a coal plant consume more energy than a moving car, but that's not comparing the status of the same object.
