On the distribution side, Bahrain has adopted a net metering system, allowing businesses and individuals to install solar systems and supply excess electricity to the EWA grid. This encourages wider adoption of solar energy by incentivising individuals and organisations to invest in solar power generation.
According to estimates by the International Renewable Energy Agency, Bahrain’s photovoltaic (PV) capacity was around 10 MW at that time. Large-scale plants offer one way to rapidly scale up renewable energy deployment. One notable project is the Askar landfill site in southern governorate.
Once the necessary rehabilitation is complete, a 100 MW solar PV plant will be constructed. On the distribution side, Bahrain has adopted a net metering system, allowing businesses and individuals to install solar systems and supply excess electricity to the EWA grid.
In 2021, the Kingdom issued the “Electric Vehicles Technical Regulation”, to promote and adopt green transport in Bahrain. In 2023, the Ministry of Electricity and Water Affairs awarded a contract for the development of an electric vehicle (EV) strategy for the Kingdom.
