A protocol of quantum energy teleportation is proposed for a one-dimensional harmonic chain. A coherent-state positive operator-valued measure (POVM) measurement is performed on coupled oscillators of the chain in the ground state accompanied by energy infusion to the system. This measurement consumes a part of the ground-state entanglement. Depending on the measurement result, a displacement operation is performed on a distant oscillator accompanied by energy extraction from the zero-point fluctuation of the oscillator. We find that the amount of consumed entanglement is bounded from below by a positive value that is proportional to the amount of teleported energy.
