SCTE Eyes Energy Efficiency

The SCTE announced "Energy 2020," a multi-year campaign by the SCTE Energy Management Program. Encompassing standards, technology, organizational solutions and training, the collaborative venture is intended for:

• Reduction of power consumption by 20% on a unit basis
• Energy cost reduction by 25% on a unit basis
• Reduction of grid dependency by 10%
• Optimization of technical facilities and data centers footprint by 20%
• Establishment of vendor partnerships to impact hardware development by the end of the decade

Further details and implications of the program will be discussed during a special session at Cable Tec Expo 2014 in Denver.
