UAE's Masdar bidding on 100MW solar energy project in Bahrain
Arabian Industry | January 15, 2019
Bahrain is inviting bids for the construction of a 100-megawatt (MW) solar energy plant to power up its renewable energy production. Additional details have yet to be revealed of what the kingdom has called a “large-scale” project, but Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has entered the race to build the scheme. The move to build the 100 MW solar energy facility is in line with Bahrain’s target to ensure renewable energy makes up at least 5% of its energy mix by 2025. The tender announcement and invitation were made by Dr Abdulhussain Mirza, Electricity and Water Affairs Minister of Bahrain, during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
