EdgePoint Towers Launches First Solar Hybrid Telecommunications Site

EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd, part of EdgePoint Infrastructure, has launched its first solar hybrid site in Malaysia, advancing renewable energy integration in the telecommunications sector. The deployment marks a major step towards sustainable energy solutions, providing up to 100 per cent of the energy required to operate telecommunications equipment.

The site, with a 5.9-kilowatt peak (kWp) capacity, operates autonomously using photovoltaic energy supported by battery storage. This hybrid system significantly reduces dependence on diesel fuel, aiming to cut annual carbon emissions by around 78 per cent.

The solar hybrid initiative is especially important for remote areas such as highways, tunnels, bridges, and terminals, where reliable coverage for transient users is essential. EdgePoint Towers plans to expand its renewable energy projects, aiming to complete additional solar and solar hybrid sites across Malaysia by the end of 2025.

EdgePoint Infrastructure, headquartered in Singapore, operates across Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with 15,800 sites in its portfolio. In Malaysia alone, it manages 1,800 sites, making it the second-largest tower company in the country.

The company continues to focus on innovative, sustainable solutions to drive a greener, more efficient telecommunications industry in ASEAN.
