<\/a>Bahrain is getting its biggest solar <\/strong>project: <\/strong>Bahrain has reportedly signed contracts to set up a 72 MW solar power project, the largest of its kind in the country, in Sukhair, Bahrain News Agency<\/a> reported this week, citing statements by Bahrain\u2019s Electricity and Water Affairs Minister Yasser bin Ibrahim Humaidain. The project will include rooftop, ground-mounted, and car park solar power systems, as well as electric vehicle charging stations. No details on the project\u2019s financials, developers, or a timeline were disclosed.<\/p>\n

All under Bahrain\u2019s renewables push:<\/strong> Humaidain said the project\u2019s capacity will account for 28% of Bahrain\u2019s 250 MW of renewable generation capacity target by 2025. It will also help save total energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, paving the way for the country to reach net zero by 2060, he added.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER<\/strong>- Bahrain recently announced<\/a> it plans to boost its renewable energy share to 5% of its total electricity generation by 2025. It aims to raise this target to 20% by 2035 as part of its National Energy Transition Plan. The kingdom has pledged to reduce emissions by 30% by 2035 through decarbonization and doubling renewables targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
