An unprecedented collaboration in a competitive industry: how did we get here?  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the European energy crisis?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Caused in part by the ongoing war in Ukraine, and Russia\u2019s weaponisation of its gas pipelines, supplies are expensive and running low across the continent\u2014causing anxiety for both households and businesses. The increasing cost of power has already <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/08\/29\/energy\/europe-power-prices\/index.html\">broken records<\/a>, briefly rising above $1000 per megawatt hour in Germany, causing one senior analyst at Rystad Energy, Fabian R\u00f8nningen, to declare, \u201cThese prices are reaching levels now that we thought we would never see.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>Measures are already being put in place to reduce the impact of shortages, for example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-63173533\">central heating will be limited <\/a>in Italy, whilst Portugal has already placed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/no-bright-christmas-for-portugal-lights-energy\/\">limits on Christmas lights <\/a>this year in a bid to use less electricity. From a commercial perspective, industries heavily reliant on huge amounts of power are, understandably, incredibly concerned about the months ahead. Telecom operators are amongst those raising their concerns.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How is the energy crisis affecting telecom operators?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Data centres use huge amounts of energy and water to power and cool their computational elements, and it will only increase in the coming years as HPC workloads demand more energy. By 2030, data centres are projected to account for 3.2% of electricity demand within the EU, an 18.5% jump from 2018.  <\/p>\n\n<p>With these figures in mind, it\u2019s easy to understand operators\u2019 rising anxiety surrounding the energy crisis. Some data centre operators have started to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/90f94abe-0bfa-48e8-878d-8d5dd7117188\">stockpile generator fuel<\/a> in anticipation of worsening shortages. As global data centre energy usage sits at around 200-250 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, contingency plans such as this are vital for critical, energy-intensive infrastructure to avoid service interruptions.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Climate change is also having an impact<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n<p>Energy prices and availability are not the only difficulty telecom operators are having to contend with recently. When the UK experienced record high temperatures in late July, Google Cloud\u2019s data centres in <a href=\"https:\/\/status.cloud.google.com\/incidents\/XVq5om2XEDSqLtJZUvcH\">London went offline <\/a>for a day, due to cooling failures. Outages limited customers\u2019 access to key Google services for hours. Oracle\u2019s cloud-based data centre in the capital was also struck down by the heat, <a href=\"https:\/\/ocistatus.oraclecloud.com\/#\/incidents\/ocid1.oraclecloudincident.oc1.phx.amaaaaaavwew44aa7zoskanlspjh4ll6wxhwxrbkbed4d4cnupxexzqzvlyq\">causing outages for US customers<\/a>. These unseasonable temperatures were blamed for the blackout. This represents another difficulty operators have to content with in tumultuous times.     <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Businesses and telecom operators face vastly rising operational costs, and worse, limited availability of mission critical power. Though global events may be out of control, enterprises can lessen the burden by seeking solutions which are built upon shared infrastructure and mutual interconnection.  <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mix-it.net\/en\/contacts\/\">Get in touch <\/a>with us to find out more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the largest telecom operators in Europe have banded together to encourage Big Tech organisations to share network costs.
