Pakistani telco Jazz – owned by global digital operator Veon – announced at Mobile World Congress 2025 on Wednesday it is collaborating with Huawei to deploy solar power tech at 1,000 of its mobile base station sites across Pakistan.
Under the deal, Jazz will deploy Huawei’s iSolar technology at the sites. Jazz said the solution will reduce its energy costs as much as 96% at the sites where the tech is installed.
Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim said the project will facilitate the telco’s transition to sustainable telecom network infrastructure with green energy, and support its commitment to be carbon-neutral by 2050.
“We are dedicated to delivering an ideal experience for our customers while mitigating our environmental footprint,” he said in a statement. The deployment of iSolar sites takes us further in our sustainability journey, enabling us to provide reliable connectivity powered by renewable energy to our customers. This
Beyond the environmental and operational benefits, Jazz also reckons the initial iSolar deployments can serve as a scalable model for future expansion, offering a replicable framework that can be extended.
The initial 1,000-site deployment will be completed within the coming months.
