Telia Cameroon will rely on Canadian Clear Blue Technologies International’s Nano-Grid smart off-grid power solution to provide its solutions to MTN Cameroon. The solution will be based on solar energy.

The partnership between Telia Cameroon and Clear Blue includes the deployment of a pilot system which is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. If successful, this will be followed by an initial deployment of 50 off-grid power systems from beginning of 2023. The sites have an estimated contractual value of CAD$1 million over five years for Clear Blue.

“Clear Blue Technologies’ systems have incredible value for telecommunications. To support applications in Cameroon, we need systems that are cost effective and provide reliable solar power without the need for diesel generators,” said Jean Baptiste Manga II, CEO of Telia Cameroon.

Increasing numbers of telecom service providers are turning to renewable energy to power their network systems with soaring oil prices and insufficient electrical power, particularly in areas rural. Clear Blue has already signed similar partnership agreements with companies like Viasat, Avanti, iSat, YahClick, 9mobile.
