In 20 of the BTS operated by XL Axiata, we use solar cells for renewable solar energy as a backup supply when the power goes out. In 2020, XL Axiata has succeeded in reducing its energy intensity by 28.1% compared to the preceding year. Meaning that to produce the same petabyte, we have used less energy.
