Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard (ASRY) has officially unveiled a landmark 4.9 MWp solar power installation, establishing Bahrain’s largest solar project within the maritime sector. This initiative represents a major stride in ASRY’s decarbonization strategy and strongly supports the Kingdom of Bahrain’s ambitious renewable energy targets.
Maritime solar Bahrain: 4.9 MWp Impressive Project Launch for Sustainable Operations
The new solar farm, developed in partnership with Kanoo CleanMax, is engineered to generate 7.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity each year. This significant output will directly displace carbon-intensive energy sources, leading to an estimated reduction of 4,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The project solidifies ASRY’s position as a regional leader in sustainable industrial practices and adds to the nation’s growing portfolio of clean energy assets, which includes other key installations like the Khalifa City Water Station solar facility.
Mazen Matar, the Managing Director of ASRY, commented on the milestone: “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. 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.”
Driving Bahrain’s Net-Zero Goal with Maritime Solar
This solar installation is a critical component of Bahrain’s national strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. By harnessing solar power on a large scale, ASRY is not only reducing its own operational carbon footprint but also contributing to a broader movement of impactful solar projects across the country. As the company approaches its 50th anniversary, this achievement underscores its dedication to innovation and long-term environmental stewardship.
