the Orange Foundation and Orange Niger open a health clinic powered by excess solar electricity produced by a mobile relay station
july 2010 by mattedgar
"In order to provide telephone access for people in rural Africa who lack electricity, Orange is deploying solar generators to power its mobile phone stations.
Its Africa-Middle East-Africa region (AMEA) today has 200 solar plants. Each solar plant saves up to 13,000 litres of fuel a year which would otherwise be needed to power generators, the equivalent of 25 tonnes of CO2. Given that a solar plant produces surplus energy on a regular basis, Orange is launching a pilot project to use this surplus energy to power the Karazomé health clinic.
This pilot project could be extended, as needed, to electrify schools, health centres, or public lighting depending on how close they are to the solar power plant."

"Each of the cards is a miniature and fun information leaflet in itself and carries a shortened weblink to more information making it instantly a physical link between the offline and online worlds (and yes we did suggest that nhs.uk could make a good URL shortener, playing with the NHS Choices URLs early on showed that if printed no one would type them in successfully)."
