AUTEL, UNDP AND TANESCO PARTNER TO ADVANCE ELECTRIC MOBILITY AND CLEAN ENERGY IN TANZANIA

DODOMA, Tanzania, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Autel Energy, a global pioneer in smart EV charging and digital energy solutions, together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and The Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO), has launched a major initiative to advance electric mobility and clean energy across Tanzania.

The program is designed to encourage local communities to adopt clean energy by deploying public EV charging stations accessible to the public throughout Tanzania.

As a core pillar of this initiative, Autel Energy has donated 50 state-of-the-art AC charging stations to TANESCO. Engineered for high reliability and seamless integration, these cutting-edge chargers will be strategically installed at TANESCO regional offices nationwide. Facilitated by UNDP's support for sustainable development and clean energy initiatives, this deployment marks a significant milestone in expanding Tanzania's national charging network. It demonstrates Autel's commitment to providing affordable, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient transport energy solutions in emerging markets.

Today, the first of these charging stations will be officially inaugurated at TANESCO's regional headquarters in Dodoma. Serving as a flagship demonstration site, the facility will provide local residents with convenient access to premium EV charging services, offering a tangible showcase of how Autel's intelligent charging technology can transform urban mobility and improve daily livelihoods.

By accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles, this Autel-backed initiative is expected to reduce transportation costs for individuals and businesses while significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The project directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

Highlighting the significance of the collaboration, Grace Zhou, Director of Public Relations at Autel Energy, said: "At Autel, we believe that technology should be the primary catalyst for global energy transformation. Our partnership with UNDP and TANESCO goes beyond equipment deployment; it represents our dedication to bringing world-class, reliable, and smart charging ecosystems to Africa. We are proud to leverage our global expertise to support Tanzania's clean energy agenda and empower local communities."

This initiative underscores how strategic alliances led by innovative technology providers like Autel, supported by global development organizations like UNDP and national institutions, can create lasting, scalable impacts on the path toward a zero-emission future.

A new visual campaign captures the vision of unique island living, through light, water and Baccarat's world of crystal - shot by world-renowned photographer Russell James

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives unveils a new brand campaign starring internationally renowned model Adriana Lima, offering a cinematic interpretation of residential ownership and the distinctive way of life imagined for Baccarat's first island in the Maldives.

Adriana Lima for Baccarat Residences Maldives.

Shot against the natural landscape of the Indian Ocean, by iconic photographer Russell James, the campaign explores the interplay between light, water and nature and Baccarat's world of crystal, craftsmanship and French artistry. Across a series of intimate visual moments, Lima brings to life the rituals of residential living in the Maldives - from quiet mornings and time spent with family to swimming, exploring and gathering together by the water - from the luxury of your own home.

At its heart, the campaign presents how owning a residence in the Maldives can be a way of life, rather than simply a place to stay. The residences are conceived around the rhythms of the Maldivian landscape, with the natural environment providing the backdrop to everyday life. All 62 turnkey residences, ranging from two to five bedrooms, embody the maison's timeless sophistication with light-filled interiors that bring the outside in. Expansive layouts with 20-metre private infinity pools, dual outdoor showers, fire pits for starlit gatherings, personal yoga pavilions, and fully equipped bars for seamless al fresco indulgence create the idyllic island lifestyle.

For the first time, the campaign reveals the Maldives' only golf residences. A collection of five homes situated around the island's private nine-hole golf course, curated entirely for those who embrace daily active living to the backdrop of the Maldives' most desirable settings.

Russell James is a globally recognized fine art and fashion photographer known for expertly capturing human experience and the true essence of places and people. Russell James comments: "The extraordinary beauty of Adriana immersed in the perfect nature of the Maldives is one of the most authentic and logical photographic series I have had the pleasure to create." 

Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives comprises a collection of five islands across 125 acres in the South Malé Atoll, with 62 private residences and 50 villas enveloped by the Indian Ocean. As the first Baccarat-branded residences in the Indian Ocean, the project carries over 250 years of the Maison's heritage and artistry. Designed by world-renowned partners including 1508 London, HKS, L'Observatoire International, and Marcel Wanders, the destination embodies timeless sophistication and contemporary craftsmanship.

The new campaign featuring Adriana Lima is now live on baccaratmaldivesresidences.com | @baccaratmaldivesresidences.

Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives is managed by Starwood Hotels, the property offers a curated lifestyle of culinary excellence and holistic wellbeing, with seven specialty restaurants led by Michelin-starred chefs, a state-of-the-art spa and wellness center, and an array of sports and leisure facilities. Every detail reflects Baccarat's enduring commitment to the art of living beautifully.
