Wind and Solar Power for Mobile Telecom
Mobile Experts, June 2010, Pages: 56
Changing ROI to Drive a Ten-Fold Increase in Wind, Solar Power for Mobile Telecom
A new report released today by Mobile Experts predicts a dramatic increase in renewable energy usage by mobile operators. 'Solar panels and wind turbines currently have a good ROI for remote mobile base stations, but ongoing economic changes will bring the payback period to less than six months over the next ten years,' said Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. “The changes in ROI expectations will create a tectonic shift in the industry, shifting over 150,000 base station sites from diesel generators to alternative energy sources over the next 10 years”.
“The change in this market will begin during 2010. The Government of India has initiated some major incentives, to drive installation of thousands of solar panels during the next six months”, explained Mr. Madden. “This kind of government program will build enough economy of scale for the mobile industry to embrace solar panels more globally”.
The new report provides:
- Detailed and comprehensive analysis of the installed base of off-grid, poor-grid, and on-grid telecom sites
- Current ROI models which illustrate the best scenarios for wind and solar power today;
- Future ROI models which estimate the payback period for wind and solar power plants installed through 2020;
- Quantitative forecasts for wind turbines and solar panels in the mobile telecommunications market through 2020;
- Concise explanation of the market drivers and inhibitors associated with alternative energy.
Over two billion people live in emerging markets, in rural communities that remain uncovered by mobile infrastructure. Two billion others are covered by cell sites which rely heavily on diesel fuel as a primary power source. This report provides detailed analysis of the market shift, to bring reliable power to remote areas so that inexpensive telecommunications can be possible.
This report features:
- Detailed and comprehensive analysis of the Renewable Energy ecosystem;
- Market drivers are highlighted in detail, including the benefits to operators in OPEX savings;
- Technology illustrations of wind turbines, solar panels, and fuel cells;
- Quantitative analysis of the current installed base of wind and solar base stations; and
- Detailed forecasts for alternative energy in cellular base stations through 2020.
The forecasts in this report give:
- Detailed background of off-grid and poor-grid telecom sites by country;
- Details for the transition from diesel generators to alternative energy;
- ROI calculations compared to electrical grid power in multiple countries; and
- ROI calculations compared to diesel fuel, including future ROI estimates based on cost trends.
Overall, this report provides enough depth of information so that:
- Power plant suppliers can draw their roadmap into the mobile market;
- Network Operators can make detailed plans to use alternative energy;
- Base station suppliers can identify effective partners for wind, solar, and fuel cell power; and
- Component suppliers can develop the appropriate technology for next-generation power plants.
