Clean Energy Water Stations

The Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) of Bahrain has announced the completion of a solar energy system installation at the Khalifa City water distribution station. This project is part of EWA's broader initiative to integrate renewable energy solutions across its facilities, aligning with Bahrain's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030. The system includes 2,032 solar panels installed on the rooftops of the station's underground reservoirs, with a maximum production capacity of 1,400 kilowatts. It is equipped with a self-cleaning mechanism and integrated monitoring and control devices to ensure operational efficiency. The station is now fully powered by renewable energy, with the capability to export surplus electricity to the national grid.

This initiative marks the eleventh EWA facility to adopt solar energy systems, reflecting the authority's commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions, diversify energy sources, and promote investment in renewable energy technologies. By enhancing reliance on clean energy, EWA contributes to Bahrain's efforts to build a more sustainable future and strengthen its position as a regional leader in renewable energy. The completion of this project underscores EWA's dedication to adopting global best practices in renewable energy and advancing the Kingdom's clean energy transition.
