Maximize DG ROI: Actionable Practices for MNOs and TOWERCOs

Background:

In West Africa, a leading telecom company finds itself grappling with several critical issues related to their diesel generators. They face spiralling operational costs due to inefficient fuel consumption and unnecessary runtime, impacting their bottom line. Frequent site outages further erode revenue by hindering customer service quality.

Additionally, delayed maintenance leads to costly repairs and disrupts vital network uptime. Moreover, inaccurate fuel data hampers supply chain management, while rising carbon emissions from inefficient operations raise environmental concerns.

This complex scenario demands a solution that tackles both the technical and financial aspects of their diesel generator management to achieve efficient operations, financial stability, and a reduced environmental footprint.

 

Challenges:

A leading west african telecom company was struggling with:

• Rising operational costs due to inefficient diesel generator (DG) fuel consumption and unnecessary runtime.
• Frequent site outages impacting customer service quality and causing revenue loss.
• Delayed DG maintenance leading to costly repairs and downtime.
• Difficulties in planning and supply chain management due to unreliable fuel consumption data.
• Environmental concerns arising from inefficient DG operations and rising carbon emissions.
