"This project will reinforce the kingdom's leadership in the energy sector," said a joint statement from the companies. Riyadh-based Acwa Power and Bahrain's state oil firm Bapco Energies have agreed to develop a solar power plant with large-scale battery energy storage in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province that will supply electricity to Bahrain.
The solar plant will have generation capacity of up to 2.8 gigawatts, developed over several phases, the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday. Electricity generated by the plant will be transmitted to the load centre of Bapco Energies in Bahrain, accelerating the country's transition to renewable energy sources.
Bahrain's National Energy Strategy focuses on improving energy demand efficiency, diversifying the national energy mix, including renewables, and ensuring secure and competitive access to energy.
Announced during the Gateway Gulf 2025 Forum, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board, the project will generate 123 megawatts of solar power, including a 50-megawatt rooftop installation
