Telenor has opened its first base station in Serbia which combines
solar and wind energy to power the network, at site Pločica in Kovin
municipality.
This is the first in a series of Telenor’s green investments in the
network in Serbia. This pilot project, carried out by local experts,
enjoyed the full support of the Ministry of Environment and Spatial
Planning.
The station, situated in the village of Pločica, was opened by
Minister Oliver Dulić and Telenor CEO Kjell Morten Johnsen.
"Everywhere in the world, Telenor does business in compliance with
high eco-friendly standards, and both our desire and our aim are not
only to be the leader in the telecommunications in Serbia, but in
environmental protection as well. By opening a base station of this
kind, we would like to encourage and raise collective environmental
awareness of companies, and serve as an example to others in their
struggle to protect the environment", Telenor CEO in Serbia Kjell Morten
Johnsen explains.

Apart from installations of solar panels and wind generators on the
location, the reduced carbon footprint and increased energy efficiency
are also propelled by a special battery cooling system. Batteries are
situated in the floor channel, which enables higher temperature in the
room, namely reduced working hours of the cooling system.
Putting into operation the first environmental friendly base station
enriches Telenor green campaign launched in 2008, with the Company’s
participation in the fight against climate changes. These base stations
are already in use within Telenor Group in Norway, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Montenegro and Hungary.
