Comcast will grow its network more sustainably
by cutting the electricity per byte of data in half by 2030.
Comcast powers SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 with
100% clean energy for the first time.
Comcast today announced at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 that
Comcast Cable plans to double its network energy efficiency by
2030, cutting the electricity per consumed terabyte of data in
half.
Comcast has been investing in a nationwide network
transformation to virtual, cloud-based technologies that offer
faster broadband speeds, greater reliability, and improved energy
efficiency. The new virtualized platform includes more centralized
locations for headends, hubs, and data centers that are more
efficient than previous technologies, requiring less hardware, less
space, and less energy per byte.
“We’re on the path to a greener internet,” said Charlie Herrin,
President of the Technology, Product, Experience organization
within Comcast Cable. “The smart technologies powering our new
network architecture are transforming how data is delivered,
providing the industry’s best combination of speed, coverage, and
control – all more sustainably.”
Comcast has set a goal to be carbon neutral by 2035 for Scope 1
and 2 emissions, or the direct and indirect emissions it owns and
controls, across its global operations. With purchased electricity
accounting for the majority of its emissions, Comcast is investing
in clean, renewable energy to power its network and operations, as
well as shifting to newer, more energy-efficient technologies and
facilities to deliver more data with less energy per byte.
“Achieving our carbon neutral goal will require our business to
work harder and smarter, and that goes for the network itself,”
Herrin added. “We’re proud to make network energy efficiency a
priority among our peers and suppliers, and to demonstrate the role
our industry has in creating a more sustainable future.”
To underscore the company’s commitment to the environment,
Comcast has purchased and gifted renewable energy certificates to
power SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 with 100% clean energy.
