4 FAQs about China s communication base station batteries

How much electricity does a communication base station consume in China?

Based on the actual number of base stations in each province of China in 2021, 13 we calculated the national electricity consumption of communication base stations (methodology detailed in Note S4), which amounted to 83,525.81 GWh (95% confidence interval [CI]: 81,212.38–85,825.86 GWh) for the year (Figures 2 A and 2C).

Should China upgrade to low-carbon base stations?

These outcomes demonstrate that upgrading to low-carbon base stations not only ensures economic feasibility but also delivers significant environmental and public health benefits, reinforcing the strategic value of decarbonizing China's communication infrastructure.

Why are China's leading communications companies incorporating energy storage batteries and photovoltaic power?

In addition, China's leading communications companies are progressively incorporating energy storage batteries and photovoltaic power generation to offset the mounting cost pressures stemming from the continued expansion of energy usage. The relative importance attached to this issue depends on the sense of urgency.

How much energy does a communication base station use a day?

A small-scale communication base station communication antenna with an average power of 2 kW can consume up to 48 kWh per day. 4,5,6 Therefore, the low-carbon upgrade of communication base stations and systems is at the core of the telecommunications industry's energy use issues.
