Averox Adds Wind and Solar to Telecom Base Stations


May 08, 2008  |  2 Comments

Averox Inc. announced that it will install wind and solar powered generators for telecom base stations to its telecom services portfolio. The power demand of base stations accounts for about 90% of the energy requirements of a mobile network.

Wind generator equipment is cheaper than diesel generators to buy and install, so the lowered investment cost and the increased prices of fossil fuels improve the business case for utilizing renewable energy sources, according to the company.

“Averox has been providing telecom services on a turn key basis for some years to mobile operators to enable them to rapidly deploy base stations,” said Salman Mahmood, Averox’s CEO. “We have significant experience in telecom services and are pleased that we can now offer to provide, install and maintain wind and solar powered generators for base stations as part of our expanded portfolio offerings to our customers.”

Hi,

Are you aware that the UK Govt is about to award double subsidy from Apr 09, worth US$200 per MWh, for electricity generated by RE systems of 50kW or less?

Installing 50kW wind turbines at UK remote telecom masts which are invariably on high ground where the wind is good could become a major source of revenue for telecoms companies in the UK.

A 50kW wind-turbine at a site with an average wind speed of 7 m/sec should generate 120 MWh per year. With a whoesale price from the grid of £56/MWh plus the £99/MWh subsidy this should earn £18,600 pa.

If you would like to know more about this, please get back in touch with me.

I hadn't heard of that small wind incentive in the UK. Is there anything about it online at this point? I, for one, would be very interested in learning more.
