Orange Goes Green in Dominican Republic
Orange has initiated the Dominican Republic's first GSM network that will run completely on solar power. Part of a program nicknamed Oryx, the stations should be 10 times more efficient than electric ones. Add to that zero CO2 emissions, fuel spillages or noise. Orange is planning to build 30 base stations, with each generating 700 - 1,000W. The overall outcome is that the country will reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 20% and energy consumption by 15% by 2020.
