Bahrain Formula 1 Circuit launches tender for major solar project
Bahrain International Circuit, the home of the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, in partnership with the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA), today announced the launch of an international public tender for the development of a major new solar farm, to be located at the circuit.
A Request for Proposal has been issued via the Government Tender Board for Build Own Operate and Maintain (BOOM) gridtied solar PV power plant with minimum capacity of 3 MWac. This to be installed as car park shades at the Bahrain International Circuit and bidders are sought for a 20 Year Contract period.
This new project is expected to deliver enough energy to power the entire Formula 1 race weekend and supports Bahrain’s commitment to increase renewable energy use in the Kingdom and Formula 1’s plan to have net zero carbon emissions by 2030. The plans will reduce the venue’s carbon footprint and generate significant savings on overall energy costs.
Fayez Ramzy Fayez, Chief Operating Officer at the Bahrain International Circuit said:
“The launch of the tender for our solar project is an important milestone for our solar project and we invite qualified organisations from all over the world to submit their proposals for this landmark initiative.
