Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA) president Dr. Abdulhussain bin Ali Mirza has held a meeting with SEA’s specialists to follow up on a number of projects and initiatives related to renewable energy and power efficiency.

These initiatives have grown in importance due to the current global circumstances relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Dr. Mirza reviewed the main decisions taken by the Government Executive Committee, chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister and stressed on the importance of commitment to all health and safety guidelines.

The meeting also discussed the latest developments regarding SEA’s tender to install solar energy systems on 20 buildings in eight public schools. Seven companies have already offered bids for the tender. The meeting further discussed the implementation phases of the Green Building Code, which was introduced last September.
