Energy managed service provided by a base station

A method and a system are described for adapting a service provided by a base station in a cellular communication network to mobile stations in its coverage area. The base station is supplied with energy from a renewable energy generator and/or from a back-up battery supply. The back-up battery supply is at least partially charged by the renewable energy generator. The service is adapted in terms of coverage and/or capacity provided to the mobile stations as a function of the stored energy in the back-up battery supply and/or as a function of a forecast regarding the amount of energy supplied by the renewable energy generator over a time period.
