How much power does 5G consume?
One 5G base station is estimated to consume about as much power as 73 households (6), and 3x as much as the previous generation of base
Because it is estimated that in 5G, the base station's density is expected to exceed 40–50 BSs/ Km 2 . The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure .
Saint Lucia's updated National Energy Policy aims to build a modern, sustainable energy sector focused on energy security, cost reduction, and local participation. It targets 50% renewable energy in electricity by 2030, reduced GHG emissions, and increased electric vehicle adoption.
This energy security goal was outlined to include renewable energy from indigenous sources and diversify sources of petroleum. Saint Lucia's updated National Energy Policy aims to build a modern, sustainable energy sector focused on energy security, cost reduction, and local participation.
To improve the energy eficiency of 5G networks, it is imperative to develop sophisticated models that accurately reflect the influence of base station (BS) attributes and operational conditions on energy usage.
