Telekom Romania Mobile announced on Tuesday that they connect their antennae to renewable energy sources on the basis of solar panels, to replace the traditional system of electricity supply.

The company commits to continuing the programme until all feasible locations benefit from green energy solutions.

The difference to 100% is represented by the systems of air conditioning cooling, which use energy from the national electricity grid, as well as other constraints specific to the location.
