I think its main meaning is waste. It is an excess of anything that goes to waste.

These two have the same meaning in English, at least I see no difference.

I was indicating use.

I hope " ...such so much energy." is not correct.

Del verbo DERROCHAR

¿Malgastar es muy parecido , no?
Malgastar / derrochar dinero en algo
Throw money out the window

La vida es buena cuando hay un derroche de amigos, ....quizás un montón es la palabra más adecuada allí.

La vida es buena cuando hay un derroche de dinero. , ¡pero no lo derrochéis!

There's a song by Ana Belén called "Derroche"
Here are the lyrics:

El reloj de cuerda suspendido
el teléfono desconectado
en una mesa, dos copas de vino
Y a la noche se le fué la mano...
Una luz rosada imaginamos
comenzamos por probar el vino
con mirarnos todo lo dijimos
Y a la noche se le fue la mano...
Si supiera contar todo lo que sentí
no quedó un lugar que no anduviera en tí...
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Que no acabe esta noche
ni esta luna de abril
para entrar en el cielo, no es preciso morir
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Parecíamos dos irracionales
que se iban a morir mañana...
Derrochábamos, no importaba nada
las reservas de los manantiales
Parecíamos dos irracionales
que se iban a morir mañana...
Si pudiera contar, todo lo que sentí
No quedó un lugar que no anduviera en tí...
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Besos, ternura
que derroche de amor
cuanta locura
Que no acabe esta noche
ni esta luna de abril
para entrar en el cielo
no es preciso morir...
Besos, ternura
Y la noche es testigo de esta inmensa locura
Besos, ternura
nuestra ruta de amor, se convierte en ternura
Besos, ternura
Besos...

Here the literal translation is Tirar right?
