That is 250 milliamps. 0.250, take it to 3 decimal places for milli which means thousandths, which is what the 3rd decimal place designates.... or a quarter of an amp, if you wish. Never a bad idea to get a power supply that has a good buffer of extra capacity (within reason). More efficient and less heat produced by a larger supply running at less than full capacity, than a small one trying to put out its max power. Not to mention, safer.
