Workshop: Enabling investment in energy network carbon reduction  

In collaboration with GSMA Intelligence 

TowerXchange and the GSMAi are collaborating to bring together towerco and mobile operator decision makers to discuss how MNOs and towercos can together play their part in the global response to climate change. What partnerships will be key 

to achieve improved energy efficiency? Which technologies can be adopted as an industry to improve the environment and the bottom line?  

Cross Sectoral Energy Efficiency

Measuring cross sectoral energy efficiency is a complex task which goes beyond just calculating how much energy is needed to deliver one unit of output though telecommunication networks.

With the development of technology from 2G to 5G, the output of the industry is continuously changing, making the task more complex and with no single KPI. Mobile operators are running multi-generational networks, often 2G, 3G and/or 4G in combination with 5G and tower infrastructure is also hosting a mix of equipment.  

Decarbonisation and Sustainability

As decarbonisation and sustainability will continue to be a key strategic priority area 

for both towercos and MNOs over the next decade, what steps are needed to support decarbonisation of networks. Main discussion points: 

The number of connections per site and the impact on energy efficiency/consumption for MNOs.  

How can towercos and MNOs share energy usage data to better understand and manage energy costs and maintenance.

Bottlenecks of energy efficiency improvement in the passive infrastructure

Climate disclosure – how towercos and MNOs are going about it? Complying with reporting requirements/regulations

Could open RAN deployment be a part of the answer how to achieve significant energy-efficiency gains?
