The Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) plans to establish a solar power plant with a maximum capacity of 10 MWac in Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC), aiming to generate a minimum of 16 GWh per year. REHC has a vast open land area where EWA intends to develop ground-mounted solar PV system. This project aligns with Bahrain’s commitment to green initiatives to mitigate climate change, as announced by HR the Crown Prince under the directives of HM the King, aiming to reduce Bahrain’s greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net zero by 2060.
The tender for the project will be implemented on a turnkey basis, covering engineering, design, manufacturing, supply of materials, installation, testing, commissioning, and civil and electromechanical works.
