A 2024 study by the Arcep, France's communications regulatory authority, found that Internet boxes use an average of 9.9 watts of power when turned on, with an additional 1.9 watts for Wi-Fi. If users turn off these devices for eight hours each night, they could save about 5.60 euros per year at the current regulated electricity rate. However, the amount saved depends on the specific model of the box. The Arcep tested 38 different boxes and found power consumption ranging from 3.6 watts to 25 watts. An energy-efficient box might save around 2 euros annually, while a less efficient model could save over 14 euros. In 2022, Internet boxes and TV decoders in France consumed 3.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, which accounted for 0.7% of the country's total electricity use. This amount is more than three times the energy used by fixed telephone networks. At a regulated electricity rate of 0.20 euros per kilowatt-hour in September 2026, the annual savings from turning off an average Internet box for eight hours each night would range between 5 and 6 euros. While the savings may seem small on an individual level, the cumulative effect of widespread adoption could have a noticeable impact on the national electricity grid. This is because millions of devices operating simultaneously can contribute significantly to overall energy demand. The study highlights how small changes in consumer behavior can collectively lead to meaningful energy conservation. The findings suggest that even modest efforts, such as turning off devices when not in use, can contribute to broader energy efficiency goals. As electricity prices continue to rise, such practices may become increasingly important for both individual households and the national energy infrastructure.
