Mocambique Celular S.A.R.L (mcel) – Eco Naturalmente (Naturally Thinking Green)
Mcel began exploring environmentally resp
onsible ways of conducting its business long before CO2 regulations were even considered in Africa. "Eco Naturalmente" (Naturally Thinking Green) was introduced in early 2007 with the objective of reducing CO2 emissions from the boardroom to the BTS. To date, by the introduction of 100% Solar Hybrid powered GSM sites, annual CO2 emissions are reduced by over 5,000 tons, with 7,000 tons targeted by the end of 2010.
Replacing conventional diesel powered sites has not only resulted in Mcel being able to offer connectivity in remote locations outside the electricity grid, OPEX savings of USD 405,000.00 per annum at current oil prices; a CAPEX payback of around 12 months per site, have been achieved.
