Can telecoms networks expand without driving up energy consumption?
It is one of the defining energy challenges for the sector as operators scale infrastructure to support AI services and rapidly rising data demand.
Vodafone argues that the solution lies not in building bigger networks, but in making them significantly more energy efficient.
The company is embedding energy optimisation into its network strategy, from AI-driven power management and next-generation radio equipment to battery storage trials and renewable-powered sites.
This strategy has already delivered a key milestone.
