E& records significant progress on net-zero emissions targets by 2030

ABU DHABI - e& announced today that it is on track to meet its 2030 net-zero target as it accelerates the implementation of climate action projects in its UAE operations.

The Group's climate action projects, implemented by etisalat by e& in the UAE, include using the latest generation of energy-efficient radio equipment with advanced Artificial Intelligence features to optimise energy consumption for different traffic loads while maintaining network performance.

The global technology group has invested heavily in converting indoor sites to outdoor free cooling solutions, reducing the GWP (Global Warming Potential) of refrigerants by recovering, recycling and reusing refrigerant gases, and using on-site renewable energy through solar panels and hybrid power solutions for off-grid sites to replace the use of diesel generators.

etisalat by e&’s first deployments of energy-efficient radio equipment have reduced energy consumption by 52 percent compared to previously deployed radio equipment. The reduction in energy consumption is equivalent to 7.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions per site per year for high-level sites configured with 4 LTE carriers.

At the 27th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP27) in 2022, e& has committed to achieving net-zero within its Group’s operations in the UAE for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. The
