Solar Telecom Site Energy Prices

Technologies like solar photovoltaic, wind power, fuel cell and other renewable energy sources have been deployed in about 4,021 telecom sites in India12. Approximately 1,000 Indus Towers sites use solar photovoltaic13 to augment the grid and diesel generated power.

Operators' energy costs keep rising, but efficiency measures and organizational change can lower them by 15 to 20 percent in a year, benefiting company profits and the environment. Energy costs for telecom operators around the world are already high: at the end of 2018, they accounted, on average, for around 5 percent of operating expenditures.

Diversification. Green-energy suppliers are cheaper in some markets. In India, the cost per kilowatt-hour of solar power is about 35 percent lower than grid power and about 65 percent lower than generator-set power. Some telecom operators are already taking advantage of such price differentials.

At the same time, as more services are provided at the edge, the number of data centers will need to rise. By our calculations, these already account for 5 to 10 percent of a telecom operator's energy costs. Supply-side costs are also likely to increase.
