The Pitch:
Telecoms network coverage in Sub Saharan Africa is generated by networks of anywhere between 300-3000 Base Stations spread throughout the host country, which transmit and receive radio signals, with the vast majority of these sites being located in areas with no grid electricity. This presents GSM operators with very real operational headaches, all stemming from one central problem: their dependence on diesel and diesel generators. GSM Energy Solutions is a business which is designed to solve this problem by providing a fully outsouced solution, based on replacing these generators with wind/solar hybrid systems. With a typical large operator using upwards of 30 million litres of diesel a year, the environmental benefits of this business are substantial.
