To secure and procure reliable energy, MTN South Africa this week launched a request for proposal which will see the MTN Headquarters becoming a completely “green” office.
“Climate action is imperative to secure the future socioeconomic development of Africa. In South Africa, we acknowledge the importance of balancing the reduction of our impact on the environment with the need to connect more people to high-speed broadband,” says Molapisi. “We are adopting appropriate mitigation measures that are enabling MTN and its people to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel generated power.
“The capacity of the facility will be determined by bidders after having considered the availability of roof top and carpark areas and its suitability for the purposes of extracting maximum capacity.
MTN SA is utilising its IPP license for self-generation by using Combined Cooling Heat and Power technology at three of its switching centres to generate 4.75 MW of power to support building electrical base load, and to be only partially dependent on the Eskom grid. MTN also has 30 off-grid renewable energy facilities which generates an additional 57kW in remote areas where there are no space constraints.
