In most cases, an oled screen is less efficient than lcd screens and will consume more power. The scenario in which oled should consumes less power is if most of the screen is dark and it can take advantage of per pixel dimming.
OLEDs are less efficient than high-end, energy efficient LCD displays but Valve was using low color gamut garbage ones in the base steam deck model so that doesn't mean they cannot save a few watts from the screen by switching to OLED.
