The world's largest rooftop solar power plant

Bahrain – Bahrain-based industrial conglomerate Foulath Holding has signed a partnership with the Middle East and Africa’s leading sustainable energy company – Yellow Door Energy – to build a record-breaking 123 MWp rooftop solar power plant, considered the world’s largest to date.

The project is being developed under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, comprising 77,000 solar panels installed on the roof of a new 262,000 m² warehouse, providing up to 50 MWp of capacity.

The official announcement was made during the third Gateway Gulf Investment Forum held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Bahrain Bay, attended by investors, business leaders, policymakers and officials from many countries.

As an island nation with limited space, Bahrain faces difficulties in developing large-scale ground-mounted solar farms. Therefore, rooftop solar power systems are considered the optimal solution, making efficient use of space while still ensuring abundant clean electricity output.

The overall project includes 10 rooftop solar power systems and 4 ground-mounted systems, estimated to produce 200 million kWh of clean electricity per year, equivalent to reducing more than 90,000 tons of CO₂ emissions into the environment.

According to Mr. Meshary Al-Judaimi, Chairman of Foulath Holding, the company has invested more than 250 million USD in sustainable development projects in recent years. This cooperation with Yellow Door Energy marks a strategic step in the journey to green production and move towards carbon neutrality.

“As a leading investor in sustainable infrastructure and a major shareholder of Yellow Door Energy, we are proud to see this project come to fruition and look forward to the positive results it will bring,” said Mr. Al-Judaimi.

Upon completion, more than 189,900 high-efficiency solar panels will cover an area of up to 707,000 m², opening a new chapter in Bahrain's energy transition, contributing to the realization of the Net Zero target by 2060.
