Good question!
Although it is possible to extract energy from a wormhole using a range of different tricks, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and in most cases there is a kind of cosmic book-keeping that will take the extracted energy back out of the system somehow. So if you extract energy using a pair of wormholes the wormholes themselves will lose energy in some way, perhaps by shrinking or by losing orbital velocity. Someone with a better grasp of the maths involved would need to work out the exact results of the set-up you describe.
