Project Summary:

The Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) of Bahrain has moved one step closer to establishing a major renewable energy project by revealing the bid prices submitted for a 44 MWp Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Power Plant. The facility will be constructed within the University of Bahrain campus and is expected to generate around 75 GWh of clean energy annually.

As part of its commitment to sustainable development, EWA launched a tender process for the project earlier this year. In January 2025, nine bidders submitted their technical and commercial proposals. Among them, Almoayyed Solar Company offered the lowest bid at BHD 9.15 million, while TBEA Xinjiang Sunoasis Company Limited submitted a bid of BHD 12.03 million.

The project will be executed on a Turnkey basis, covering all phases from design and engineering to material supply, installation, and commissioning, including both civil and electromechanical works.

This initiative is part of Bahrain’s strategic push to diversify its energy sources and reduce carbon emissions through the adoption of large-scale solar energy projects.
