NuRAN Wireless Inc. has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, NuEnergy Ltd, to oversee its solar, storage and hybrid energy systems in Africa. The move consolidates the company’s energy infrastructure under a dedicated unit as it expands rural connectivity deployments across the continent.
The new entity will supply power to NuRAN’s existing and planned sites, which currently number more than 5,000 under contract, including operational locations supporting 2G, 3G and 4G networks. NuEnergy Ltd will also explore third-party energy supply opportunities where permitted, targeting productive-use clients such as small businesses, agricultural operations, charging services and local institutions.
By aligning daytime electricity demand with solar production, the subsidiary aims to improve capital efficiency and support infrastructure-focused financing while retaining ownership of sites, power supply and connectivity within the NuRAN group. The initiative also positions the company to extend energy services to future edge computing nodes.
Francis Létourneau, Director and Chief Executive Officer of NuRAN Wireless, stated that reliable energy is essential for rural connectivity and that connectivity can in turn make rural energy projects more attractive to investors.
