Renewable Energy Powered Base Stations, Digicel, Vanuatu
In Vanuatu, an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean east of northern Australia, Digicel is working with the GSMA Development Fund to assess and develop commercial scale roll outs of green power technology. There are currently 24 live sites in the Digicel Vanuatu network running on green power, including eight mission-critical backbone sites carrying up to 60% of Digicel's traffic. The findings of the initial assessment show that commercial scale implementation of green power solutions is viable for replacement of diesel generators.
