Energy costs are escalating...

1. Typical sites in emerging market countries like India and Africa use Diesel Generators as primary power or backup solution
Percentage of sites using Diesel Generators in relation to power grid availability (source India)
Others; 20%

No DG

OFF Grid; 10%

DG run over 18 h per day

2. Diesel: Main Driver for increase of energy costs and CO2 emissions .Emerging market energy costs to climb over 70% driven primarily by network expansion but compounded by increased energy cost of between 5% Unreliable & Good and 10% per annum Grid; 50%

Poor Grid; 20%

DG run min. 10 h/day

DG run 2-6 h/day DG : Diesel Generator

How to keep the energy situation under control

Vodafone Technology Networks drive Innovation in Network Efficiency and Green Technologies
> Developing 100% green powered innovative radio base station solutions.

> You cannot manage what you do not measure: Vodafone is main promoter of implementing standards energy monitoring features.
> Vodafone is implementing on large scale standardised efficient products and developing intelligent power efficiency features.

> Better control of Diesel Operation by implementing alternatives using Batteries as main power sources.
> Drive Technology innovation for renewable energy solutions using (Solar+Wind) for mass usage in emerging markets.

Design to real need

Green Telecom sites at reasonable cost

Established joint Cooperation between Vodafone, China Mobile and Indus Towers to push the industry to deliver renewable energy technical solution for mass usage to reduce substantially diesel consumption with Payback <= 3Years (currently 6-7Y). Work closely with Key Suppliers on low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approaches to deliver complete green site solutions. Site in Focus OFF Grid or sites with poor Grid power

only 2 main KPIs: Power sustainability for Base Station and Payback < 3 Y

The higher the load the higher the CAPEX investments in batteries and solar to get same operational level For small loads around 200W no Diesel Genset is necessary, which corresponds to 100% reduction in the chart

It is technically and commercially feasible to power OFF-Grid Base stations with renewable energy sources, the smaller the load the shorter the payback
