What is it about?
While renewable energy technologies present unique challenges, adopting renewable energy to power telecom towers will result in significant benefits for telecom tower infrastructure companies, including a reduction in carbon emissions. By examining a case study in the Rajasthan district of Jaisalmer, the author hopes to advance the concept of mounting small wind turbines atop telecom towers in order to demonstrate their effectiveness and to spur a large-scale deployment initiative in such areas.

Why is it important?
The rising cost of energy as a result of increased diesel prices, combined with growing concerns about air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, is driving the search for innovative and alternative ways to power telecom towers.
Perspectives
Based on the lessons learned in this project, it can be concluded that renewable energy technologies will play an impeccable role in powering telecom towers, including providing the desired economics and deployment scalability while taking into account effective power generation and optimal system integration, among other things
