According to our calculations, the total worldwide electricity consumption in communication networks will exceed 350 TWh in 2012Įxtrapolating the 350 TWh value above, gives us around 500 TWh in 2018. This paper, on Worldwide electricity consumption of communication networks, although from 2012, is useful in so far as it takes a macro view of consumption and makes a good attempt at detaching the different elements of usage. Also taking into account the fact that other mediums like television, and telephony also co-exist in some of the same energy infrastructure, alongside other types of usage, this gets complicated real quick.Įventually, however, we settled on using the following sources for these figures:- Ghent University whitepaper This was a difficult figure to arrive at since the internet isn't the only energy user. These statistics were taken from 15th December 2017.įrom this source then, we get a value of 1.96% for HTML content. #Wasted space hgtv archive#HTTP Archive has some useful statistics which detail the average breakdown of traffic on the web.
