VEON, Jazz and Huawei signing
Barcelona, 05 March 2025: VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON), a global digital operator (“VEON” or the “Group”), today marked the agreement between Jazz, its digital operator in Pakistan, and Huawei to deploy solar power in Jazz’s 1,000 sites across Pakistan.
The solarization of the sites, powered by the iSolar technology of Huawei, will be completed within the coming months, facilitating Jazz’s transition to sustainable telecom network infrastructure with green energy. The initiative will support an energy cost reduction of up to 96% at the sites where the technology will be implemented.
Integrating sustainable energy solutions, including the iSolar project, supports Jazz’s commitment to net-zero carbon target by 2050.
Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz said: “We are dedicated to delivering an ideal experience for our customers while mitigating our environmental footprint. 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 initiative demonstrates our commitment to taking the steps that are not only good for business but also good for the planet, contributing to responsible use of energy resources in Pakistan.”
Phillip Gan, President of Huawei Middle East and Central Asia Region of Huawei added, “We are proud to partner with VEON and Jazz on the iSolar project, setting a new benchmark for green energy adoption in telecom industry. This initiative is another example of our long-term strategic cooperation to supporting the telecommunications industry in driving a more sustainable digital transformation. We are happy to contribute to VEON’s and Jazz’s sustainability vision with this partnership.”
Beyond the immediate environmental and operational benefits, the success of deploying Jazz iSolar is expected to serve as a scalable model for future expansion, offering a replicable framework that can be extended.
