However, due to the utilization of massive antennas and higher frequency bands, the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs) is much higher than that of 4G BSs, which incurs huge operation costs and significantly increases carbon emissions under traditional power supply mode .
However, Li says 5G base stations are carrying five times the traffic as when equipped with only 4G, pushing up power consumption. The carrier is seeking subsidies from the Chinese government to help with the increased energy usage.

The annual operation cost of large-scale 5G BSs in Case 1 is the highest, while that in Case 3 is the lowest. The annual electricity buying cost of large-scale 5G BSs in Case 1 is 4339.20 (10 3 CNY), accounting for 96.60% of operation cost. Compared with Case 1, the annual operation cost of 5G BSs in Case 2 is reduced by 11.55%.
In Case 2, the total optimal energy storage planning capacity of large-scale 5G BSs in commercial, residential, and working areas is 9039.20 kWh, and the corresponding total rated power is 1807.84 kW. The total energy storage planning capacity of large-scale 5G BSs in Case 3 is 7742 kWh, which is 14.35% lower than that of Case 2.
