Manama, Bahrain - Yellow Door Energy, the leading sustainable energy partner for businesses, has won the Bahrain Smart Cities Summit 2023 Renewable Energy Award. The award recognizes the company’s accomplishment in installing a cutting-edge solar power plant at The Bahrain Mall, operated by Majid Al Futtaim, which has been powering the mall with renewable energy since September 2022.

The Bahrain Smart Cities Summit is the only dedicated event in the Kingdom focusing on smart and sustainable solutions for cities, and has been a platform for cross-sector collaborations since 2016. Every year the summit brings together key stakeholders and industry experts to explore the latest innovations and trends in smart city technologies.

In 2021, the leading shopping malls, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, Majid Al Futtaim, partnered with Yellow Door Energy through a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) to develop the largest operating rooftop solar plant in the Kingdom at The Bahrain Mall. The solar plant is set to produce 10 million kilowatts of clean electricity in this first year of operation, reducing carbon emissions by 7,100 metric tons.
