Pembrokeshire phone mast can run off wind energy

The UK's first "off-grid" mobile phone mast is being switched on in a two-year pilot to deliver 4G coverage to a remote village.

The mast near Eglwyswrw, Pembrokeshire, has its own wind turbine, solar panels and battery storage.

Vodafone said, if successful, it could mean connectivity for "not-spots" in other remote and rural areas.

Ofcom Wales called it a positive initiative that could help bring more equal access to the digital economy.
