Making strides towards a greener future with sustainable warehousing
GAC Bahrain has reached a major milestone in its drive to boost its sustainability with the installation of more than 550 solar panels on the rooftop of its warehouse in Bahrain Investment Wharf in Al Hidd.
The solar array is expected to generate up to 487,000 kWh of clean and renewable energy annually and reduce GAC Bahrain’s carbon dioxide emissions by more than 485 tonnes and make about 195 tonnes of standard coal savings in the first year – the offsetting equivalent of saving approximately 26,298 trees, the company said in a press communique.
Reputable renewable energy solutions provider Al Mannai Projects carried out the five-month long project in full adherence with all relevant local regulations and safety standards.
“The solar panel installation is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey and demonstrates our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and adopting renewable energy sources,” affirmed Johan Fulke, Managing Director, GAC Bahrain.
“We are delighted to have completed the installation of 550 Wp high-efficiency GCL solar PV modules, high-quality Al Mannai aluminium anodised solar mounting structure and balance of system (BOS) equipment for GAC Bahrain. The project was finished on schedule and met all international and Bahraini Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) standards,” asserted Talal Al Mannai, CEO, Al Mannai Projects
Its efforts are also part of a larger trend towards renewable energy adoption in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which has set a target of generating 5% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
