Dragon City Bahrain, the largest wholesale and retail trade centre in Bahrain, has announced the installation of over 10,000 solar panels on 1,300+ shaded car parks at Dragon City Bahrain. This makes it Bahrain’s second-largest solar plant and the biggest solar parking lot.

Installed in cooperation with Vitol Energy, the lot will generate 9,500 MWh of electricity annually, reducing emissions by 6,500 metric tonnes per year, it was shared.

Marking the occasion was a ceremony attended by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Bin Dainah, Minister of Oil and Environment, and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, Eng. Ahmed Al Ammadi, CEO of Diyar Al Muharraq and Board Member of Dragon City Bahrain, alongside senior officials and stakeholders.

Eng. Al Ammadi commented: “We are delighted to be launching the Dragon City solar plant under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak bin Daina. This pioneering initiative aims to serve members of our local community and encourage sustainability across Diyar Al Muharraq’s various residential and commercial projects. At Diyar Al Muharraq, we remain dedicated to investing in environmentally conscious practices in line with our vision to build a sustainable city for both residents and visitors.”

Turkish packaging manufacturer Sarten Ambalaj and Enova, a regional integrated energy and multi-technical services, have signed a contract for the installation of rooftop solar solutions across multiple Sarten operational facilities.

The engineering, procurement, and construction contract covers the installation of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) turn-key solutions across five areas of Sarten’s operations in Manisa, Türkiye, it was shared.

The new contract has a total installed capacity of 9.258 MWp, with 16,987 PV modules generating 13.01 GWh of green electricity per annum.

The three-month implementation is backed by two years of operations and management led by Enova under the current contract.

Enova CEO Renaud Capris commented: “In signing this agreement with Sarten Ambalaj, Enova is continuing its expansion into Türkiye with a key ambition to reduce carbon emissions for our clients through the implementation of comprehensive, performance-based solutions. Sharing our sustainability aspirations, Sarten Ambalaj is setting an example of an ambitious roadmap towards clean energy in the Turkish market, which ideally would follow suit.”

Zeki Sarıbekir, CEO of Sarten, added: “In achieving our vision of being the leading packaging company in Türkiye, we strive to minimize the environmental effects of our production processes. We are delighted to sign this contract with Enova in support of our environmental policy, as we aim to make a difference across all areas of our operations. The installation of solar PV solutions at five of our major operations reaffirms this commitment and adds value for our stakeholders.”

The PV solar project has been initiated with immediate effect.
