Energy consumption in communications networks
The statistic illustrates the annual energy consumption of Finnish communications networks and its development and distribution between fixed and mobile networks. The data are collected once a year from the largest telecommunications operators. The information is produced by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom.
Changes in statistics
When updating the statistics with 2022 data, there were corrections to the previous 2021 data. Corrections were due to changes in the reporting of companies.
Energy consumption of telecommunications networks is collected divided into fixed access networks, mobile radio access networks, and other network elements. Mobile networks cover all network generations from 2G to 5G and fixed networks cover all technologies from copper networks to fibre networks.
