6 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.

How much power does a 5G network consume?

In China, for example, total power consumption by telecoms networks exceeds 50 billion kWh. Once 5G networks are deployed, the power consumption of telecoms networks in China will exceed an estimated 100 billion kWh, generating annual carbon emissions of 27.2 billion kg.”

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 there in China?

By the end of 2020, three major domestic mobile network operators have built over 718,000 5G base stations in China and achieved 5G coverage in more than 300 cities throughout the country (see Fig. 1 and Table S1). 5G base stations are mainly distributed along with coastal cities in the southeast provinces.
