Beyon completes second phase of mega solar park in Bahrain

Beyon, a Bahrain-based international telecommunications and technology group, has announced the completion of Phase 2 of its solar park, a major milestone in its journey towards carbon neutrality.

During a ceremony held to mark the completion at the Royal Golf Club in Riffa, Beyon chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa said that the company is committed to sustainability and clean energy production.

Beyon’s Solar Park Phase 1 and 2 at Ras Abu Jarjur will generate 3.6 GWh of clean energy annually. This will lead to a carbon footprint saving of over 2,000 tonnes and a cost saving of BD105,000.

Shaikh Abdulla said, “Beyon’s efforts towards sustainability and clean energy production continues, and we have made great progress since the launch of the first phase of the Solar Park in November 2021.

“We are also very proud of an unprecedented achievement in the telecommunications and technology sector, as Beyon’s data centre became the first in Bahrain to rely entirely on clean energy generated from the company’s solar park, which is located in the Beyon Data Oasis.”

The Beyon chairman also announced that the company plans to start implementing the third phase of the solar park in Hamala.
