Yellow Door Energy seals Bahrain solar power purchase deal

Yellow Door Energy (YDE), a leading sustainable energy partner for businesses in the region, has signed a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with Armacell, a global leader in flexible foam for the equipment insulation market and a leading provider of engineered foams.

The agreement entails an installation of a rooftop solar plant on the premise of Armacell’s facility located at Bahrain International Investment Park in Hidd, said the company in a statement.

As per the deal, Yellow Door Energy is responsible for financing, designing, building, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the solar plant for the duration of the agreement.

Construction has already begun and the plant is expected to be completed by the year end, it added.

The solar plant has a capacity of 1 megawatt-peak and is expected to produce over 1.6 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of clean energy in the first year of operation.

This would meet 60% of the facility’s energy consumption needs and reduce 1,130 metric tonnes of carbon emissions annually, said the company.

By working with solar developers, leading businesses can reduce their energy costs without any upfront investment or operational risk, while maintaining focus on their core operations and enjoying the benefits of clean energy, it stated.
