The Avenues-Bahrain, the largest sea front shopping and entertainment destination in Bahrain, announced a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with Yellow Door Energy, the leading sustainable energy partner for businesses, to implement a stateof-the art sustainable energy project.

The transformative project, operating under a power purchase agreement (PPA) model, involves the development of a 3.5 MWp solar carport system.

It will feature the installation of over 6,000 cutting-edge bifacial solar panels across the entire outdoor parking facility of The Avenues-Bahrain, reinforcing the complex’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

Construction will begin shortly and the solar system is anticipated to be completed in Q4 2024.

Upon completion, it will provide much needed shading to 1,025 parking spots, covering an area of 23,500 square meters. Over 5.8 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy are expected to be produced in the first year of operation, equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 4,000 metric tons, significantly enhancing the complex’s sustainability leadership.

Firas Barakat, Mall Director at The Avenues Bahrain, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “By harnessing the power of the sun to meet our energy needs, we are taking significant strides towards a greener and more sustainable future for Bahrain.”

Hani Majzoub, SVP of Commercial Development at Yellow Door Energy, also conveyed his excitement for the project, stating, “This collaboration marks our sixth signed solar project in Bahrain, elevating our portfolio to over 30 MWp of awarded solar projects.”
