Beyon’s telecommunications arm, Batelco, has launched the first off-grid mobile site in the region powered entirely by renewable solar and wind energy.

The solution operates independently of traditional energy, resulting in an annual reduction of 280 tonnes of carbon emissions and conserving 400MWh of energy per site. This solution also ensures zero noise pollution, making it ideal for mobile telecom towers in urban and remote areas.

“Batelco is thrilled with the performance of its first-off grid site and is excited to expand its renewable energy initiatives to mobile sites across the kingdom, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said Batelco’s Chief Technology Officer Rashed Mohamed.
