However, I thought this was because the Russians only had one working
Elektron at that time. If both had been working, would there have been a
need to burn O2 candles when there was a visiting Soyuz?

Even without a visiting crew, Elektron usage was power limited.

That makes sense. It seems that Mir was always starved for power. ISS will
have those huge US solar arrays to over compensate. ;-)
