The South African division of MTN Group will make a significant investment in its network infrastructure in an effort to address the protracted power crisis that has bedevilled the nation for months.
The mobile operator reported that since nearly 900 diesel generators, more than 20,000 batteries, and 5,000 rectifiers were installed at its locations across the nation, its network availability had increased by 15%.
Millions of South Africans have experienced disruptions in their lives and businesses due to the extreme and prolonged power outages. Additionally, mobile networks that depend on electricity for connectivity have been negatively impacted.
Frequent and extended power outages are a common problem in Nigeria, and MTN has successfully adjusted its operations to address this issue. MTN has effectively integrated diesel generators as a fundamental element of its energy strategy within the nation. Despite periods of unstable power, these generators have been essential in maintaining network resilience and dependability. In addition to enabling MTN to maintain reliable network services, its ability to manage diesel generators in the Nigerian environment has been a useful learning tool.
