In 2023, the stc Group implemented power-saving technologies using AI, leading to a 13% recorded decrease in energy consumption across its 4G and 5G networks. Its Renewable Energy Pilot Project has been ongoing since 2021. It aims to install solar PV systems on existing infrastructure across 18 sites to reduce over 8,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions per year and is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
