Comparing data from 2021, 2025, and 2030, 41 we found that the electricity consumption due to communication base station operations in China increased annually.
In 2024, the number of telecom base stations in China is expected to increase to 12.65 million. Based on this, we estimate that the total electricity consumption of telecom base stations in China in 2024 will be 146,242.621 GWh.
In 2021, the annual electricity consumption from communication base stations was 83,525.81 GWh, and it is estimated to rise to 458,495.18 GWh by 2030 (average across three scenarios), with an increase of 448.93% compared with 2021.
As a result, this approach was anticipated to reduce the number of anxiety cases in China caused by irregular sleep related to communication base stations by 488,500 (Figure 5 D).
