The PPA‑backed initiative targets steel decarbonisation to advance Bahrain’s Net Zero 2060 goal.

Overview

  • Foulath Holding and Yellow Door Energy announced the development at the Gateway Gulf investment forum hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board.
  • The 123‑MWp portfolio includes ten rooftop PV plants and four ground‑mounted installations, led by a single‑site rooftop array described as a 50‑MWp world record.
  • The rooftop centerpiece will use about 77,000 panels across a new 262,000‑square‑meter stockyard, with the full program totaling more than 189,900 panels over 707,000 square meters.
  • First‑year generation is projected at roughly 200 million kWh with an estimated 90,000 metric tons of carbon emissions avoided.
  • The project is structured under a power purchase agreement to supply on‑site clean power to Foulath’s industrial operations, including steel production.
