Airtel Africa will use African operations (ATC Africa) communications sites across Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, and Uganda to support Airtel Africa’s network rollout.
The companies expect to substantially increase connectivity on the continent, extend digital inclusion to underserved communities, and advance their mutual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction objectives through their combined efforts.
“Over the last several years, ATC Africa has made forward-thinking investments to ensure we achieve tangible reductions in our on-site fossil fuel consumption in Africa,” Marek Busfy, CEO of ATC Africa, said.
To date, ATC Africa has invested $300 million in energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy deployments and energy storage solutions to decrease on-site reliance on fossil fuels. The company has also earmarked additional investments to fund the implementation of future energy efficiencies.
“Sustainability is at the core of our strategy, driven by our corporate purpose to transform lives across Africa and support people, businesses, and governments in getting access to better connectivity,” Segun Ogunsanya, CEO of Airtel Africa, said.
