Infralectric, a company of the Brillanz Group, on Thursday launched Pakistan’s first Green Sukuk for the telecom sector, alongside the successful completion of the country’s first 25MWh AI-powered Energy Storage-as-a-Service (ESaaS) project, powered by Thunder AI.
This dual achievement marks two significant milestones: the deployment of a 25MWh AI-powered ESaaS and the introduction of a Green Sukuk worth up to PKR 3 billion for the telecom sector.
The ESaaS project represents a major shift in telecom tower energy infrastructure by using Thunder AI-driven battery storage. This advancement reduces reliance on diesel, saving over 5 million liters annually, increases uptime, and cuts 13,500 tons of CO2 emissions each year across the telecom portfolio—equivalent to planting more than 220,000 trees annually.
Infralectric also launched the nation’s first Green Sukuk for the telecom sector, in collaboration with InfraZamin Pakistan. The Sukuk is Shariah-compliant and 100% principal-guaranteed, introducing a scalable and sustainable financing model aimed at modernizing telecom towers with low-carbon, AI-enabled technologies.
Bilal Qureshi, CEO of Brillanz Group, remarked, “Today is a historic moment for Pakistan’s digital and energy future. With Thunder AI-powered ESaaS and the launch of the first Green Sukuk for telecom, we’re proving that innovation and sustainability can drive growth together. At Brillanz, we remain committed to continuing to invest in solutions that deliver lasting impact.”
Fahd Haroon, Minister of State and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Digital Media, also addressed the event, calling it a historic day for Pakistan. “These initiatives demonstrate how innovation and collaboration can modernise telecom towers, reduce carbon emissions, and create scalable green investments that strengthen both our economy and environment. The Government remains committed to supporting such progress, where finance, technology, and sustainability converge to build Pakistan’s digital future and advance our climate commitments,” he said.
Maheen Rahman, CEO of InfraZamin Pakistan, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, “Infralectric is a prime candidate for the Sukuk market. We are keen to explore mechanisms to enable an Infralectric Green Sukuk, which would mark a pivotal step in unlocking sustainable finance for Pakistan’s telecom sector. At InfraZamin, we are committed to enabling climate-resilient infrastructure through innovative credit guarantees that mobilize private capital at scale.”
