Off-grid wind-diesel system
Celtel / Zain is the number one GSM
provider in Madagascar. As the electricity grid is very limited in the
country and due to the remote locations of the GSM towers with
receivers and transmitters, an off-grid system is required.
The
Wind Factory installed a wind-diesel hybrid system on 2 sites on top of
a mountain in order to decrease the costs of diesel fuel by 80%.
Besides the logistical costs to get the fuel on site has been reduced
by installation of the wind turbine.
