"Pardon the ignorant question but, can you explain why a lower power requirement is good from a network performance or financial perspective? I am not an engineer."

Paul,

The advantages reach deep into and beyond network performance and financial perspectives. To process greater signal strengths from the handsets by way of a carrier wave and related processing equipment requires more battery power and handset size considerations. There is also the element of greater radiation exposure to the user with more output power. The related process equipment (receivers, converters, transmitters) may not be as effected by physical restraints but the processing speed and complexity of the design are. The maintenance and equipment longevity are directly affected by power consumption. The smallest possible signal for transmission in the air and on wire without loss is the desired target.
