Airtel Nigeria Plans Transition To Solar Power As Diesel Costs Surge To N28bn
Airtel Nigeria, one of the country’s largest telecommunications companies, is turning to solar energy as a cost-effective solution to power its telecom infrastructure, as rising diesel prices have pushed the company’s fuel costs to a staggering ₦28 billion.
The telecom giant’s move towards renewable energy is part of a broader strategy to reduce operational expenses and enhance sustainability amidst Nigeria’s persistent energy challenges.
The Director of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility revealed this during a media roundtable in Lagos on Tuesday, citing the company’s records as of May.
Airtel Nigeria’s Chief Technical Officer, Harmanpreet Dhillon, said the company was exploring alternative energy options such as solar power.
This shift is aimed at addressing the challenges posed by Nigeria’s unreliable power supply, which currently forces telecom operators to rely heavily on diesel generators.
