Vodacom and Orange have joined hands to form, a first of its kind, rural towerco partnership in Africa. Through this partnership, the companies will collaborate to build, own, and operate solar-powered mobile base stations in underserved areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Mobile Internet penetration in the DRC is at 32.3% and Orange and Vodacom's announcement to construct new base stations in the country aligns with the country's new vision for the digital economy as included in the National Digital Plan Horizon 2025 adopted in 2019.
Deploying and operating networks, particularly in deep rural areas, continues to be a significant challenge in the DRC. To bridge the digital divide and expand network coverage in underserved communities, the companies have pledged to jointly construct up to 2,000 new solar-powered base stations over six years, using 2G and 4G technologies.
Collaborating with Vodacom by sharing both passive and active infrastructure is the most effective approach to fulfilling our commitment to accelerating connectivity access for everyone, including rural areas, while minimizing our environmental footprint,” says Orange Middle East and Africa CEO, Jérôme Hénique.
Of these: — 3.66 GW are currently inactive. Taking into account these amounts of operational and expected power, we can affirm that Europe is at a pivotal stage in the deployment of energy storage systems. The report offers a technology classification of energy storage systems.
European energy storage inventory . With the common target of 20 % renewable energy use by 2020 and 42.5 % by 2030, many Member States have introduced economic support programmes for renewable generation. In this context, PSH systems could facilitate their expansion.
The EU has introduced multiple directives and initiatives aimed at facilitating the roll-out of energy storage systems. This report outlines the EU-level regulatory framework and policy drivers for storage and evaluates the adoption of storage policies or targets by EU Member States in their national energy and climate plans (NECPs).
Energy storage technologies are crucial for a secure, resilient and low-carbon energy system, but their implementation is hindered by a range of challenges. This report provides an analysis of the deployment of energy storage technologies in Europe, identifying the current status and the policy framework.
