MANAMA, Bahrain Oct 4th, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/
Bahrain's Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) launched its tendering process
to appoint a qualified contractor to remediate a two square kilometre landfill
site to prepare the plot for the development and implementation of a solar
project with a minimum capacity of 100 MW. The landfill site is located at
Askar, in the Southern Governorate of Bahrain.
The scope of the project will involve the design and construction of a landfill
gas extraction and treatment system to meet the requirements of environmental
standards as per the Supreme Council of Environment requirements. The project
will also include land remediation, the development of gas and leachate
management systems, and a drainage system to ensure the site readiness for the
construction and operation of the solar project.
The tender scope also includes the site investigations to meet the required
performance specification and environmental monitoring of the landfill site
(leachate, groundwater contamination, air emissions, landfill gas treatment
etc.) at agreed intervals until 12 months following the completion of the site
remediation.
Commenting on the launch of the tender H.E. Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, EWA's
President said, "Bahrain is fully committed to the objectives of the COP26 and
ultimately actionable goals and investments towards climate change. Converting
this landfill site to a solar farm capable of producing 100 MW is one of many
steps the country hopes to execute to realise the objective of bringing carbon
emissions in Bahrain to net zero by 2060".
The tender document sets out clear requirements of environmental standards to
ensure that the project adheres to best practice international guidelines,
ensuring the safety of the site and longevity of the project. Under a separate
tender and in parallel to this project, EWA will be issuing a "Request for
Proposal (RFP)" for developing a 100 MW solar plant located on the remediated
landfill.
With Bahrain's Economic Recovery Plan, the Kingdom plans to target investments
worth US$30 billion in strategic projects, creating new investment
opportunities in infrastructure and priority sectors across the Kingdom,
including renewable energy sectors such as blue and green hydrogen.
