Partnership with Design Energy Alliance proves to create a sustainable alternative
Boca Raton, FL - October 19, 2011 - Global Tower Partners (GTP) today announced that it has deployed its first solar system solution, in partnership with Design Energy Alliance, at one of its fully generator-powered cell tower sites located in Sleeping Beauty, CA.
This solution provides an environmentally-sound energy alternative while reducing the operational expenses associated with continuous maintenance and operations of primary generators. It enables GTP to lower its generator use and fuel consumption by 45% on a site located at an environmentally-sensitive location protected by the Bureau of Land Management.
"GTP views alternative energy solutions as an opportunity to deploy eco-friendly power to its sites where traditional grid power is not available," stated Marc Ganzi, Global Tower Partners Chief Executive Officer. "Sleeping Beauty is a pristine and scenic land area, and we are pleased with the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in this picturesque part of the country."
"We are excited about this accomplishment and will take the lessons learned from this project to provide similar efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions at our other locations that meet the needs and requirements of these types of energy solutions," added Bernard Borghei, Senior Vice President of Operations.
