Zero Point Energy.
It cannot possibly be zero point energy, since that wouldn't be enough to power anything useful.
Plot-power.
It would suck if they didn't, and fun is more important than realism.
And if you want internal consistency: the nodes are passive and the power is sent by whoever sends the payload. Or they have an internal power supply as otherwise the reactor would become a major single point of failure. Although that doesn't explain the 10bp it eats.

I'm guessing telenodes are the only device to utilize the wonderful invention of batteries when the reactor dies xD
