Abstract

In the past two decades, the telecommunication and Information and Communication Technology (lCT) industry has grown tremendously fast with increasing demand for modern value-added services and pervasive computing. This rapid and radical deployment of cellular base stations and networking infrastructure throughout the world has significantly increased energy consumption, resulting in emitting harmful greenhouse gasses and increase in the annual electricity bill for the mobile which has a direct impact of the consumers. Introducing renewable energy to power cellular network base stations and ICT infrastructure makes not only environmental, but - most importantly - economic sense, while at the same time opening opportunities for new business models. It is thus of great importance to study the subject in order to determine the potential gains, applicability scenarios, deployment strategies, and policies which is the focus of this chapter. Throughout the chapter we are trying to answer the questions about how much Telecom and ICT networks consume of power, what are the consumptions predictions for the future, and is it worth going to renewable energy. We also look at the contribution of the ICT in making power grids and other equipment smarter, hence, more energy efficient; this would help achieving the environmental mission of investing and implementing Renewable Energy.
