Clean Energy – Super Hybrid Program
Ooredoo Qatar said the "Clean Energy – Super Hybrid" program underwent extensive testing through multiple Proof-of-Concepts in 2023 and 2024. It leverages solar energy during daylight hours and switches between alternative energy sources as needed, significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions and the carbon footprint of mobile sites in Qatar.
Successful Pilots and Environmental Impact
Following successful pilots at various mobile locations, the system has proven to be highly effective and well-suited to Qatar's environmental conditions, the official release said.
Ooredoo plans to implement this green initiative across all its mobile sites by 2026, aiming to save approximately 140 tonnes of CO2 and the equivalent of planting 21,000 trees at every site over 25 years. Besides the environmental advantages, the initiative is expected to lower operational costs associated with fuel-dependent towers.
