Hotspot Network Limited is preparing to roll out 312 solar-powered telecom sites nationwide, aiming to enhance its network amidst ongoing challenges related to power supply.

The announcement follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a consortium led by Clear Blue. This consortium also includes Empower New Energy, a specialist in financing clean energy projects, and Netis, known for its expertise in telecom infrastructure management.

By harnessing solar power, Hotspot aims to improve telecom service availability in rural regions where conventional electricity access is scarce, while also lowering energy costs typically associated with diesel fuel.
