Wind turbine expansion for Zephyr Corporation

Zephyr Corporation today announced new partners in Turkey and India along with the expansion of its telecom executive team. The move comes in response to increased demand and interest in its wind turbines from operators around the world as a result of rising diesel prices, steady reductions in the power requirements of base stations and increased pressure for greener technology.

Last week Zephyr Corporation’s wind turbines were shortlisted at the annual AfricaCom awards - the most prestigious of their kind - in the Telecom Innovation of the Year category.

Zephyr Corporation’s wind turbines can replace or supplement both solar power and diesel-powered generators at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact.They can be used at both off-grid and on-grid sites; either for new base station deployments; or for retrofitting of existing base stations.

Customers include some of the largest operators in the world.

Zephyr Corporation’s wind turbines will be on display at two upcoming shows: GITEX in Dubai in October and AfricaCom in Cape Town in November.

Zephyr Corporation is also an active member of the GSMA Green Power for Mobile initiative. This group comprises leading global mobile operators as well as the large infrastructure suppliers and vendors all working to increase the use of alternative energy in the telecoms market.

Zephyr Corporation’s two new partners are:

Enerlab of Turkey: Based in Istanbul, Enerlab is a systems integrator that specialises in renewable energy and helps operators to implement environmentally-friendly telecoms services.

Zamil New Delhi: Provides custom-built telecom systems for operators and tower owners in India and worldwide. Zamil helps reduce CAPEX and OPEX through the use of energy-efficient products and is part of the Zamil Group Holding Company, a global investment company with diverse interests and capabilities.
