EdgePoint Towers, a subsidiary of EdgePoint Infrastructure, has launched its first solar hybrid telecom site in Malaysia as part of its renewable energy initiative. The 5.9 kWp site operates autonomously with solar energy and battery storage, aiming to provide up to 100% of the energy needed for telecom operations and significantly reduce diesel dependency.
The deployment will enhance sustainability, cost efficiency, and connectivity, particularly in remote transport corridors. The initiative is expected to cut the site’s annual carbon emissions by around 78 per cent, with further solar and hybrid site rollouts planned across Malaysia by the end of 2025.
