Green Bond Technical Framework Development
Clients: Telecom Sector
PROJECT SUMMARY
Ecowatt Nigeria Limited supported a telecom infrastructure operator in developing a Green Bond–aligned technical framework and carbon credit monetisation readiness strategy for a large-scale transition from diesel-powered base stations to solar and hybrid energy systems.
The engagement focused on structuring bankable, standards-aligned energy transition investments that reduce operating costs, lower emissions, and enable access to sustainable finance and carbon markets.
Scope of the Project:
- Development of a Green Bond Technical Framework aligned with international principles and local capital-market requirements
- Definition of eligible green use-of-proceeds for telecom energy transition projects
- Baseline energy and emissions assessment for diesel-powered telecom sites
- Carbon accounting and emissions-reduction quantification from diesel displacement
- Design of MRV (Monitoring, Reporting & Verification) structures for future carbon credit issuance
- Assessment of carbon credit eligibility, aggregation logic, and monetisation pathways.
Services:
- To measure energy use and power demand in facility.
- To determine the percentage of power loss via transmission.
- To ensure the accuracy of the postpaid and prepaid meters installed in the facility.
- To analyze the accounting process and detect losses.
- Ecowatt carried out the necessary measurements and discovered a possible case of power theft amongst other critical findings.
