Yellow Door Energy, the leading provider of sustainable energy for businesses in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, has announced a significant addition to Qatar’s green energy solar projects. This new initiative contributes to the growing solar capacity across the Middle East, a region experiencing rapid growth in renewable energy adoption. The trend is highlighted by the burgeoning solar landscape in the UAE, as detailed in this report on United Arab Emirates Solar Panel Manufacturing.
Solar Project in Qatar: Agreement with Gulf Warehousing Company
Yellow Door Energy has signed a landmark solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC), Qatar’s leading logistics and supply chain solutions provider. The agreement entails the installation of a 5-megawatt (MW) solar plant at GWC’s Logistics Village Qatar (LVQ) facility.
The solar plant is expected to generate 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy in its first year of operation, cutting carbon emissions by an estimated 3,500 tonnes annually. This initiative supports the sustainability targets of both companies as well as Qatar’s broader clean energy goals.
Yellow Door Energy to Manage Solar Project in Qatar
Yellow Door Energy will fully finance, build, and manage the solar project throughout the contract period. This PPA model allows GWC to access clean energy and achieve cost savings without upfront capital expenditure or operational complexities. The approach minimizes financial risk for GWC, enabling the company to focus on its core logistics business.
The solar plant is expected to be operational by 2025, pending grid connection approval from the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA).
“We are delighted to partner with GWC, a leading Qatari company committed to sustainability and innovation. This solar project marks Yellow Door Energy’s first in Qatar and will contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals. We look forward to providing GWC with affordable and reliable clean energy for decades,” said Rory McCarthy, Chief Commercial Officer of Yellow Door Energy.
GWC’s Commitment to Sustainability with Solar Project in Qatar
This agreement with Yellow Door Energy reinforces GWC’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The initiative aligns with the environmental development pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030 and supports the nation’s transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
“GWC is proud to be a leader in sustainability, and this partnership with Yellow Door Energy is yet another milestone in our journey towards a greener future. This solar project will not only reduce our carbon footprint but also provide us with cost-effective energy solutions, allowing us to remain competitive while meeting our environmental responsibilities,” said Ranjeev Menon, Group CEO of GWC.
With a portfolio of over 200 MW of solar projects across the Middle East and Africa, Yellow Door Energy has solidified its position as a strategic partner for leading businesses in diverse sectors seeking sustainable energy solutions.
