Yellow Door Energy is the leading sustainable partner for businesses throughout the Middle East and Africa. The company has signed a solar power agreement with Armacell. Armacell is a global leader and provider of engineered and flexible foams for equipment insulation. The agreement involves the installation of a solar rooftop plant at Armacell’s Bahrain International Investment Park facility in Al-Hidd.
Neville D’souza said, “Armacell is committed to a more sustainable operation in Bahrain and beyond. We can reduce our carbon footprint and improve our cost efficiency by utilizing the solar PPA we have with Yellow Door Energy. It is a huge step forward for Armacell.
Khaled Chebaro is Yellow Door Energy’s Country Director in Bahrain and KSA. He said, “Yellow Door Energy has a proud partnership with Armacell Middle East Company. This project is just one of many we have in Bahrain that demonstrate our commitment to the kingdom and company growth. We are looking forward to helping businesses switch to cleaner energy, reduce their electric costs and contribute towards the Kingdom’s initiative of Net Zero by 2060.”
The solar plant is capable of producing a 1-megawatt peak and will produce 1.6 million kilowatts hours (kWh) in its first year of operation. The solar plant would provide 60% of the energy needs of the facility and reduce carbon emissions by 1,130 tons per year. The solar plant has begun construction and is expected to be finished by 2023.
Yellow Door Energy, as the solar developer is responsible for financing the project, designing it, building it, commissioning and operating the plant, for the duration. Working with solar developers allows leading businesses to reduce their energy bills without having to take on any operational risk or upfront investment. They can also focus on their core business while enjoying the benefits of cleaner energy.
