China aims to build over 4.5 million 5G base stations next year and give more policy as well as financial support to foster industries that can define the next decade, the country''s
As the deployment of 5G continues, the energy consumption of base stations increased significantly and the number of base stations soars. These lead to a sharp increase in
Energy consumption per unit of data (watt/bit) is much less for 5G than 4G, but power consumption is much higher. In the 5G era, the maximum energy consumption of a 64T64R
5G Construction: Energy and EmissionsSmart Functions with 5G Power5G Power Builds A Green Energy GridChina Tower and Huawei conducted joint pilot verification in 2018 and found that the 5G Power solution could support effective 5G site deployment without changing the grid, power distribution or cabinets. This in turn could cut retrofitting costs for a single site by more than US$1,800, save 4,130 kWh of electricity per site per year. China Tower p...See more on huawei

Estimates suggest that operating expenses (Opex) for 5G will be 30-50% higher than for 4G. This increase is due to higher energy consumption, increased site maintenance, and the complexity of managing a dense network of small cells and new frequency bands.
Fiber optic networks are the backbone of 5G infrastructure, providing the high-speed data transfer needed to support ultra-fast connectivity. However, laying fiber is expensive, with costs ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 per kilometer, depending on location, terrain, and construction regulations.
