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.
