ASRY has announced the completion of a major solar panel installation, establishing the largest maritime solar project in Bahrain. This installation marks a significant step toward the company’s net-zero carbon emissions goal and aligns with broader renewable energy efforts in the region, including Bahrain’s tender for a 44 MW photovoltaic project (PVKnowhow). The achievement builds on other successful solar initiatives in Bahrain, such as the Khalifa City Water Station installation (PVKnowhow).
Maritime Solar Bahrain: ASRY Advances Clean Energy Goals
As a cornerstone of ASRY’s clean energy strategy, the 4.9 MWp solar farm positions the company as a leader in sustainable maritime practices. Completed in collaboration with local company Kooheji Contractors, the project also highlights ASRY’s commitment to local partnerships.
“This project is an important step towards achieving our net-zero carbon emissions goal, a key pillar of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s 2030 vision,” said Mazen Matar, Managing Director of ASRY. “We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable practices in the maritime industry, and this solar farm is a testament to our commitment to creating a cleaner, more sustainable future. We look forward to continuing to lead in this vital area and working with our partners to make a positive impact on the environment.”
ASRY’s Maritime Solar Project in Bahrain to Cut CO2 Emissions
The solar farm is projected to generate 7.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4,600 tonnes each year and contribute significantly to Bahrain’s national objective of net-zero emissions by 2060. The project is part of a larger trend of solar projects in Bahrain, with some aiming to achieve significant power generation by 2025 (PVKnowhow).
As ASRY nears its 50th anniversary, the company remains focused on sustainability and innovation. This solar farm marks a significant milestone in ASRY’s journey toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by the end of the decade.
