Telecom operators struggle to balance rapid network growth with sustainable power infrastructure

Large telecom companies like Safaricom face escalating electricity costs and grid reliability issues as data demand explodes, forcing them to cobble together expensive workarounds (solar + batteries + multiple grid connections + monitoring systems) that are complex, capital-intensive, and still fail to keep pace with growth. Current energy solutions are fragmented, inefficient, and don't scale predictably with subscriber growth, leaving operators vulnerable to power outages that directly impact revenue and customer satisfaction.
