Comcast has been delivering more data with less
energy as part of its commitment to growing the network more
sustainably.
Comcast today announced it has reduced the electricity it takes
to deliver each byte of data across its network by 36% since 2019.
The efficiency gains have been achieved through a reduction in
total energy use across network facilities and operations while at
the same time delivering more data, faster broadband speeds, and
greater reliability.

Comcast decreased the electricity per consumed byte from 21.2
kilowatt-hours (kWh) per terabyte (TB) in 2019 to 13.6 kWh/TB in
2022. Ongoing investments in innovation, software, AI, and other
virtual and physical critical infrastructure require less hardware,
less space, and less energy per byte than previous
technologies.
“We’re energized by the progress we’ve made on the path to a
greener, cleaner internet,” said Charlie Herrin, President of the
Technology, Product, Experience organization within Comcast Cable.
“These efficiency gains are a critical part of our plan to grow the
Xfinity 10G Network more sustainably.”
Last year Comcast announced plans to double network energy
efficiency by 2030, cutting the electricity per consumed byte of
data in half. Comcast estimates this will avoid the equivalent
amount of electricity needed to power half a million homes for a
year.
“The network has an essential role to play for the planet,”
Herrin added. “We’re committed to innovating in ways that serve our
customers and society. Driving energy efficiency across the
business and sourcing more clean and renewable electricity are
paramount to achieving our climate goals.”
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.
Comcast’s multi-year nationwide network transformation to
virtual, cloud-based technologies will drive long-term gains for
energy efficiency. Once fully deployed, the new virtualized
platform will offer faster broadband speeds, greater reliability,
and improved energy efficiency.
