The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for notification of emitted energy. The method includes: performing an emitted energy decrease on resource elements in a current cell that have a same time-frequency location as part or all of resource elements where a reference signal of a neighboring cell is located; obtaining an emitted energy parameter of an energy non-decreased resource element (NRE) in the current cell according to a decreased amount of emitted energy of an emitted energy decreased resource element (DRE); and notifying the emitted energy parameter of the NRE to a user equipment (UE). According to embodiments of the present invention, the waste of emitted energy may be avoided, the emitted energy of part of REs is increased, and further, the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and throughput of service data may be increased.
