Zain Bahrain has taken another step forward in its environmental sustainability journey in partnership with Rental Solutions & Services (RSS) to reduce carbon emissions with a new renewable power source solution at one of its commercial 5G sites, following this initial success the plan is now to expand the solution to more sites.

Zain Bahrain has become the first service operator in the Kingdom to implement a renewable power source, using hybrid electrical power solutions between generators, batteries, and solar panels at a commercial 5G site.

The new solution has been proven to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 15%.

Energy conservation is a key pillar of Zain Bahrain’s environmental sustainability strategy. In this case, it aligns with three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Goal 9, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Goal 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities; and Goal 12, Responsible Consumption and Production.

Amar Bu Ali, Network Access, IP, Cyber Security, and Building Services Manager at Zain Bahrain said: “Zain Bahrain continues to explore innovative solutions to optimize energy consumption for sustainable 5G and 4G site operations.

The renewable power generation reduces fuel consumption, and is a key component towards sustainable connectivity.”
