The rapid growth of the mobile telecommunication sectors of many emerging countries creates a number of problems such as\nnetwork congestion and poor service delivery for network operators. This results primarily from the lack of a reliable and costeffective\npower solution within such regions. This study presents a comprehensive review of the underlying principles of the\nrenewable energy technology (RET) with the objective of ensuring a reliable and cost-effective energy solution for a sustainable\ndevelopment in the emerging world. The grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system incorporating a power conversion and\nbattery storage unit has been proposed based on the availability, dynamism, and technoeconomic viability of energy resources\nwithin the region. The proposed system�s performance validation applied a simulation model developed in MATLAB, using a\npractical load data for different locations with varying climatic conditions in Nigeria. Results indicate that, apart from being\nenvironmentally friendly, the increase in the overall energy throughput of about 4kWh/$ of the proposed system would not only\nimprove the quality of mobile services, by making the operations of GSM base stations more reliable and cost effective, but also\nbetter the living standards of the host communities.
