Green Telecom successfully installed, energized, and commissioned a 1.5 MVA ABB Hitachi Energy dual-transformer unit at the Airtel Data Center in Dar es Salaam, strengthening power reliability for a mission-critical environment.

Highlights

  • Installation, energization, and commissioning of a 1.5 MVA dual-transformer unit
  • Safe disconnection and removal of existing transformer equipment
  • Coordinated load shifting activities to support continuity of operations
  • Testing and verification to ensure stable, reliable power delivery
  • Structured execution in a mission-critical data center environment
  • Expanded Green Telecom capability in power infrastructure delivery

Green Telecom Limited marked an important operational milestone with the successful installation, energization, and commissioning of a 1.5 MVA ABB Hitachi Energy dual-transformer unit at the Airtel Data Center in Dar es Salaam.

The work took place in a mission-critical data center environment where power reliability, safety, and controlled execution were essential. Before site execution began, the team reviewed the scope, planned the work sequence, coordinated access, and aligned with site representatives to reduce disruption to ongoing operations.

A major part of the project involved the safe disconnection and removal of existing transformer equipment. This required careful isolation, controlled handling, and close coordination around load shifting activities so that the transition could be completed with minimal operational disturbance.

The new transformer unit was installed, connected, tested, and verified before energization. Each stage was checked against the technical requirements to ensure the installation was stable and ready to support the facility's operational needs.

Successful commissioning confirmed stable power delivery and completed the transition from installation to operational readiness. The project demonstrates Green Telecom's growing capability in power infrastructure delivery for telecom and data center environments.

For Green Telecom, this milestone reflects the value of disciplined planning, capable field teams, and strong execution standards in supporting Tanzania's critical digital infrastructure.
