Hybrico: Hybrid Energy for Regional Connectivity

closed

The project seeks to promote the adoption of an innovative hybrid model for the provision of electrical power services to off-grid or bad-grid sites, that has been designed and is promoted by Hybrico, generating efficiencies and a more stable performance in the operation of telecommunication towers to small urban centers and remote peripheral or rural areas facilitating their connectivity. This model will generate positive environmental impacts by reducing fuel consumption and carbon footprint in the operation of these towers. The project will support Hybrico to pilot this hybrid technology in a set of off-grid and bad-grid telecommunication towers in Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. It is estimated that if the pilot is successful, it could later be scaled up to about 5,000 towers throughout Central America.
