Technical FAQs 4

How much electricity does China use per base station?

For China, based on a single base station power's energy consumption of 11.5 KWh (Huawei, 2019), we estimate that the electricity consumed by its 5G network by 2030 will be 6.04 × 10 5 GW for 6 million base stations, the equivalents of 8.4 % of China's national total power generation in 2019, respectively.

How much electricity will China's 5G network consume in 2030?

Under the scenario of business-estimated six million base stations in 2030, the share of electricity consumed by China's 5G networks in 2030 could reach 8.4 % of the national total power generation, causing 0.44 GtCO2 /yr CO 2 emissions.

How much power does 5G use?

According to Huawei's report, the maximum power consumption of a 5G site is >10–20 KW (Huawei, 2019). An Ericsson report (2020) estimated that, by the end of 2025, 5G would have 2.8 billion subscribers globally, accounting for approximately 30 % of all mobile subscriptions.

Does China have a 5G network?

Given that China currently has the largest 5G network in the world (∼1.53 million base stations by the end of 2021, Table S1) and that base station number was projected by up to 6–8 million by 2030 (CCID Consulting, 2020), concerns are being expressed regarding 5G mobile networks' environmental effects and sustainability.
