Energy Management and Flexibility in Mobile Networks

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can more easily adopt energy management strategies that lower costs, cut emissions, and unlock new revenue streams thanks to industry-first guidance from the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN). The new guidance outlines how MNOs can benefit from deploying local renewables and batteries at cell sites for their own energy generation – becoming virtual power plants – and sell energy back to energy companies to help better manage operational costs and navigate limited energy resources.
