Batelco, a telecommunications company under Beyon Group, has launched the first off-grid mobile site in the region, powered entirely by renewable energy. The site uses both solar and wind energy to operate independently of traditional power sources. This development marks a step towards sustainability efforts.
The mobile site will help reduce environmental impact by cutting 280 tons of carbon emissions annually. It will also save 400 MWh of energy per site each year. The site does not produce any noise pollution, making it suitable for both urban and remote locations. The off-grid mobile solution is designed to support Batelco’s aim to integrate more sustainable practices into its operations.
Batelco’s decision to use renewable energy at its mobile sites aligns with global efforts to tackle climate change. The use of solar and wind energy is part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon footprints in the telecommunications industry. Batelco has stated that it will expand its renewable energy initiatives to other mobile sites in the future.
Beyon’s approach to sustainability includes various projects that focus on reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. This new mobile site is part of that effort, showing how technology and sustainability can work together. Batelco’s renewable energy-powered site is a practical solution that could set a benchmark for other telecommunications companies in the region.
The renewable energy solution used in the new mobile site is also beneficial because it operates off-grid, meaning it is not dependent on the traditional energy grid. This reduces the environmental impact of mobile telecom towers, which usually consume significant amounts of energy from conventional sources.
Furthermore, Batelco plans to implement this off-grid solution at more sites, contributing to the ongoing push for greener technology in telecommunications.
