Solar Parks Support Mobile Communications for Locals

According to the statement, Elisa’s first experiment with solar power was in 2015, and the solar panels continue to produce energy today. Last fall, the company continued its project in collaboration with Sunly City and has now installed 12 new solar power plants connected to the grid. These new solar parks are located in seven counties and support local communities such as Ahaste village, Kambja municipality, Kibuna, and Koljala village in using mobile communication services.

According to Elisa, “Green energy and energy efficiency are one of the main pillars of Elisa’s sustainability strategy. With the help of the already established solar power plants, it can increase contribution to green energy, reduce the impact of high electricity prices, and minimize carbon footprint as much as possible.”

“Now that Elisa has activated 12 new solar power plants, it can analyze the real impact of the project and increase the pace further. Elisa’s longer-term goal is to equip all our mobile towers with 100% renewable energy solutions in the next ten years.”
