AI Is Driving Network Energy Costs Up. Here’s How to Control Them
Communications service providers are confronting soaring energy costs as AI workloads become integral to 5G and future 6G networks. A new whitepaper by TNS and Kaleido Intelligence warns that data‑center capacity could grow two‑to‑six‑fold by 2030, turning energy efficiency into a strategic priority. The report advocates standardized metrics and a common language—using CLEI equipment IDs and CLLI location codes—to accurately plan and optimise network assets. By aligning equipment‑level and site‑level intelligence, CSPs can curb OPEX while sustaining performance.
