These 5G base stations consume about three times the power of the 4G stations. The main reason for this spike in power consumption is the addition of massive MIMO and beamforming, increasing bandwidth for data and resulting in better coverage.

Capital costs for solar are 3 to 7 times higher in Africa than in developed countries, and the continent only receives 3% of global energy investment - fare from the $200 billion per year needed to achieve energy access and climate goals.
