Power consumption of 5G base stations in China

4 FAQs about [Power consumption of 5G base stations in China]

How much energy does a 5G base station use?

China Mobile’s measurement report9 indicates that the energy consumption of a 5G base station is 4.3 kWh, which is four times that of a 4G base station at 1.1 kWh. One 5G base station is estimated to produce 30 t of carbon emissions in one year of operation10.

Why is 5G more energy efficient than 4G?

Due to the high radio frequency and limited network coverage of 5G base stations, the number of the 5G base stations are 1.4∼2 times than that of the 4G base stations, and thus the energy consumption is also 2∼3 times higher (Israr et al., 2021).

How much carbon is produced by 5G in China?

which is four times that of a 4G base station at 1.1 kWh. One 5G base station is estimated to produce 30 t of carbon emissions in one year of operation10. Thus, 5G networks in China are roughly estimated to produce over 60 Mt of carbon emissions annually at the national level11.

How many 5G base stations are built in China?

Emission reduction potential and model sharing In 2019, China began to build 5G base stations and has built over 113,000. Construction of 5G base stations accelerated in 2020 and a total of 718,800 base stations were built, resulting in a sharp increase in carbon emissions.
