Zain Bahrain, a leading telecommunications provider, has announced the launch of its Ericsson Hybrid Power Solution, designed to significantly reduce fuel consumption and enhance operational efficiency. The Hybrid Power system combines a diesel generator with lithium batteries to optimize energy use.

When commercial grid power is unavailable, during different periods of the day, energy consumption will be supplied by lithium batteries, reducing the need for the diesel engine to run continuously using the Ericsson Smart controller.

In contrast, traditional diesel generators operate at full capacity regardless of demand, resulting in excessive fuel consumption and increased emissions.

By implementing this hybrid solution, Zain Bahrain aims to reduce fuel usage, achieving a daily average of 25% reduction in fuel consumption, thereby lowering operational costs associated with diesel refilling and maintenance.

The hybrid power system also promotes a cleaner environment by minimizing harmful CO2 emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Amar Buali, Zain Bahrain Director, Access Network, IP, Cyber Security & Building Services Commented, “Zain Bahrain is excited to introduce Ericsson Hybrid Power enhancement as part of its ongoing efforts to innovate and lead in sustainable practices within the telecom sector.”
