1. A method of operating a network node in a cellular telecommunications network, wherein the cellular telecommunications network includes a first transceiver providing a first access connection, a second transceiver providing a second access connection, and a third transceiver providing a third access connection, wherein the first transceiver and the second transceiver are co-located, the method comprising:
determining that the third transceiver should enter energy saving mode;
in response to the determining:
causing reconfiguration of the first transceiver to reduce a transmit power of the first transceiver so as to generate reserve power for the second transceiver co-located with the first transceiver, and
causing reconfiguration of the second transceiver so as to increase a transmit power of the second access connection, using the reserve power, to enable the second access connection to compensate for the third transceiver.
