Powering a greener future

Our high-efficiency power solutions help minimize our customers’ energy usage. As such, we contribute every day to a greener future, minimizing energy lost in the power conversion process.

How we work with the environment

Concern for the environment has always been a driver behind our quest for ever more efficient technology and products. 

With our more than 2.7 million high efficiency modules in the field, Eltek power systems have reduced energy waste in the region of 7.4 TWh since 2008, equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by around 1,000,000 tons. Through the use of renewable energy in remote installations, innovative cooling, and smart management of generators, Eltek systems has also contributed to a reduction of more than 50 million litres of diesel.

The green impact of hybrid power

Eltek have 10.000 Hybrid telecom sites installed worldwide, enabling huge savings for our customers and the environment alike. This is the yearly impact of Eltek technology

But we also work to protect the environment in many other ways.
