1. A method of managing energy usage by a telecommunication network infrastructure, the method comprising:
- providing, by a server, an approved standard telecommunication equipment list to each central board located at a respective telecommunication site of a telecommunication network infrastructure, the provided approved standard telecommunication equipment list tailored to a respective telecommunication site, and including respective specifications to be assigned to respective pieces of telecommunication equipment located at the respective telecommunication site of the telecommunication network infrastructure to stipulate;
(1) expected current values of respective pieces of telecommunication equipment located at the respective telecommunication site of the telecommunication network infrastructure, wherein the server determines if the expected current values are different than current values identified in the respective specifications assigned to the respective pieces of telecommunication equipment located at the respective telecommunication site of the telecommunication network, or (2) attachments of respective pieces of telecommunication equipment with respective power protection devices located at the respective telecommunication site of the telecommunication network infrastructure;
receiving, by the server, respective reported current values from the plurality of central boards, wherein each reported current value is identified with a respective piece of telecommunication equipment located at a respective telecommunication site of the telecommunication network infrastructure;
integrating, by the server, the reported current values from the plurality of central boards located at the respective telecommunication sites; and
providing, by the server, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) configured to allow a user to audit energy usage of each piece of telecommunication equipment of each telecommunication site provided by the reported current values.
