Heliocentris receives follow up order from du - a leading
telecommunications company in the United Arab Emirates
* First purchase order for 50 sites successfully delivered
* Proven reductions in operating costs and CO2 emissions of more than 50%
create pull for additional installations
* Heliocentris receives purchase order for the next 57 turnkey energy
efficiency and monitoring solutions
Berlin - 20 March 2012: P21 GmbH, a subsidiary of Heliocentris Energy
Solutions AG, has been awarded another order from the Emirates Integrated
Telecommunications Company - du to implement its 'Genset Efficiency'
solution in 57 additional mobile network base station sites. This order
follows the initial order for 50 sites late 2011 and its successful
delivery during the first quarter of 2012.
The 'Genset Efficiency' solution controls the operation of mobile base
stations' diesel generators. An automotive style hybridization of the
diesel genset with a battery in combination with an intelligent energy
management increases efficiency and considerably reduces fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions by 50% and more. In addition, the Energy Manager
increases the transparency of operational tasks by monitoring the network
infrastructure and thus decreases downtime of the towers.
'A successful collaboration is set to continue', says Ayad Abul-Ella, Chief
Executive of Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG. 'We are proud about the
trust and positive momentum we receive from a leading customer like du.
This follow-up order once again confirms the quality and attractiveness of
our Energy Management System for telecom operators and provides an
important contribution to reach the double digit revenue we plan in the
Middle East and Africa region already in 2013.'
du is an innovative, dynamic telecommunication services provider. With a
rapidly increasing market share and a total of around five million active
mobile subscribers it is the fastest growing telecom company in the UAE.
Operating the base transceiver station (BTS) sites as eco friendly as
possible is a major goal within the environmental-friendly initiative of
du. The first installations showed that the Heliocentris technology
achieved the expected high savings in fuel consumption of over 50 % and
reduction of generator runtimes of around 75%. The runtime reduction has
the additional benefit of extended maintenance intervals lowering the
operating expenses even more as well as reducing downtimes due to generator
failure.
But these solutions not only reduce energy and operating costs, they also
make a major contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. 'We are
proud that for some sites we even could achieve greater savings than
initially demonstrated in the trial phase, thus assisting du in becoming
even more environmentally friendly', Ayad Abul-Ella concluded.
The P21 branch office, located in Silicon Oasis, Dubai, will manage the
implementation of this significant project. It has started operations end
of 2011 with local staff including Sales, Solution Engineering and Project
Management. 'This underlines the importance of the Middle East Africa
region as a growth driver and is at the same time a further sign of our
strong commitment to this region', says Michael Kutschenreuter, the General
Manager of the Middle East Africa Business of Heliocentris/P21 and the
Managing Director of the Dubai Branch.
