Huawei urges shift from energy consumer to prosumer at summit

At the 10th Global ICT Energy Efficiency Summit in Vienna, organized by Huawei, industry stakeholders concluded that telecom sites must evolve from passive energy consumers to active prosumers who produce, store, manage, and trade electricity. Virtual Power Plants (VPP) are moving from concept to short-term commercial priority. Key economic data reveals solar-plus-storage costs have dropped below $0.04 per kWh, and VPP deployments in Europe offer an average payback of about three years and roughly €800 in annual revenue per site, while improving energy availability by 100% and reducing diesel dependence. The summit launched the 'Transitioning to Prosumers—Global Initiative for the Communications Industry,' calling for open energy resources, standardized interfaces, and viable business models. Huawei reaffirmed its commitment to integrating bits and watts and collaborating with global partners on innovation and standards to support the industry's transition to a high-quality energy system.
