ENERGY CONTINUITY IS NETWORK RELIABILITY

Zero-emissions backup power as a service for telecom infrastructure

Even if the power grid goes down, telecommunications towers can’t afford to. Staying up and running is essential for public safety, emergency services, and the continuous connectivity that today’s digital era requires. That’s why we offer clean, cost-effective, always-available backup power as a service.

How it works

Enjoy backup power based on modern, advanced-chemistry batteries — including sodium ion, LTO, and other premium chemistries — for a flat monthly fee. The solution is available in variable configurations ranging from 2-hour UPS replacements to longer 8-hour duration and hybrid backup power options:
Modern batteries from Day 1
Start “clean” from the outset with a modern BESS solution at sites that have no backup power option yet, including sites where diesel gensets aren’t viable.
Lead acid UPS battery replacement
Upgrade Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) installs from old technology to higher-efficiency, more-dependable, longer-lasting BESS options using modern, advanced chemistries.
Battery-first diesel genset hybrid
For sites with legacy diesel gensets, a “battery first” option avoids diesel runtime during shorter power outages and uses batteries first for longer outages, extending total diesel + BESS duration capability.

Save up to 20% on
power-related costs

Operational savings vs. lead acid batteries: longer life and fewer or even no cell swap-outs over the 20-year life of the BESS asset
Operational savings vs. diesel gensets: through avoided fuel costs, no routine maintenance / operational testing, and eliminated need for air permits and other diesel requirements
Capital cost avoidance: BESS-based backup power as a service eliminates ground rent and is not considered a capital lease, making it easier to account for on balance sheets

Additional benefits of clean backup power

With our on-site battery service, tap into dependable backup power that’s clean, easy to deploy, and readily available when and where you need it.
Zero onsite emissions: cleaner local air quality and a lower carbon footprint vs. diesel gensets
Easier permitting: compliant in jurisdictions where diesel gensets are restricted or prohibited altogether
Flexible deployment: compatible with outdoor ground mount, interior utility room, and building rooftop installs
Space-efficient: requires 50% less space than lead acid batteries
Hassle-free: avoid the maintenance headaches associated with diesel gensets
Value-added extensibility: can be leveraged for peak shaving / shifting, integration with onsite generation such as solar PV, and other value enhancements
Blackouts and brownouts can be unpredictable; cellular coverage shouldn’t be. Our joint venture brings sophisticated backup power as a service to our customers — so you can deliver true connectivity to yours. Together, we’ll keep your telco sites up and running.
