In its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, the American Society of Civil Engineers assigned a “D+” to the US` aging energy infrastructure. Just a few weeks after the report was released, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco were hit by major power outages on the same day. Mass transit was in chaos as the electrical outages caused the failure of signals and station lights. Office workers were stranded in elevators and hospital operating rooms were shut down. And businesses, factories, and homes went dark. For anywhere between four and ten hours, it was utter chaos for hundreds of thousands of people.

1.1 billion people lack electricity for lighting, telecom, cooking, clean water & economic development. 84% of them live in rural areas beyond the grid where they face distinct disadvantages in education, health, and quality of life. The GSMA estimates that by 2020, 390,000 telecom towers will be off-grid, and 790,000 that are in poor-grid locations. Powering these towers is a complex challenge.

In today’s data-driven and connected world in which mobile services outpace the grid, the power requirements to support people, businesses and devices continue to rapidly grow. In 2018, mobile operators across the globe spent $28 billion, or 16.5% of their annual OPEX, on energy.  With the introduction of 5G, this financial and environmental burden is expected to double. Whether seeking alternative energy solutions for primary off-grid power or backup power for regions where grid services are poor, or where redundancy is crucial to backup heavy network traffic, telecom providers and towercos are turning to GenCell for clean, reliable and cost-efficient power solutions.

Faced with more frequent extreme weather as well as increased demand for electricity, utilities are seeking new alternative technologies that provide clean backup power systems to minimize service disruptions and improve customer satisfaction.

With today’s deeper understanding of the impact of the industrial revolution on our environment, some of the world`s leading companies are playing a central role in efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, while satisfying customers, meeting production targets and growing profits. In a world where power outages are an increasing part of our reality, commercial and industrial entities are taking proactive steps to ensure their access to clean, reliable backup power supply.
