Abstract

Upswing trend in society GDP requires a communication development and increasing the energy consumption. Communication development, itself, incurs increasing the energy consumption. About 7% of power generation is of renewable type in Iran which is less than its average in the world. Supposing 2% of electric power in Iran consumes in ICT, we find 4748 million kwh energy consumption in ICT domain which in turn, generates environmental pollution. Thus, in addition to developing the renewable energy usage in the country, operators should be requested to use these energies more day-to-day. In line with that, using the green equipment is our first strategy for operators to consume the energy less. The second strategy is a stepwise one which requires the operators to substitute the fossil fuels with renewable energies.
