Seef Properties has launched its solar power initiative, one of the largest in Bahrain’s history, which aims to bring clean electricity to four premier retail destinations, Seef Mall – Seef District, Seef Mall – Isa Town, Seef Mall – Muharraq, and Al Liwan.
Yellow Door Energy (YDE), a leading sustainable energy partner for businesses in the Middle East and Africa, appointed Comsip Al A’ali and Almoayyed Solar Company as contractors to oversee the project’s engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC).
The two contractors will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of solar panels, drawing on their extensive expertise in the field. Comsip Al A’ali, part of global multi-technical services provider VINCI Energies, will provide the installation and maintenance of solar panels at Seef Mall – Muharraq and Al Liwan.
Almoayyed Solar Company, a division of leading conglomerate Almoayyed International Group, will implement the same tasks at Seef Mall – Seef District and Seef Mall – Isa Town. The solar panels will be installed on the rooftops of the malls and in their designated parking areas.
With a total capacity of 8.9 megawatts, the panels will make up one of the largest combined areas of environmentally-friendly commercial spaces in the Kingdom, generating an estimated 14,000 megawatt-hours per year. This is equivalent to over 10,000 metric tons of carbon emissions avoided.

“The deployment of solar panels across Seef Properties’ locations will set a benchmark for large-scale commercial solar projects in Bahrain, showcasing how advanced engineering can drive impactful environmental change. By integrating clean energy solutions into Seef Properties’ destinations, we aim to significantly reduce energy costs and carbon emissions while also enhancing the efficiency of our operations. Seef Properties meticulously selects its partners, and Yellow Door Energy was the standout in this space thanks to its extensive technical and managerial expertise in implementing sustainable energy projects in Bahrain. This makes them an ideal choice for bringing our ambitious vision to life.”
Jeremy Crane, Group CEO of Yellow Door Energy, said: “We are proud to collaborate with Seef Properties on this multi-site solar power purchase agreement (PPA), as it accelerates renewable energy adoption in Bahrain’s commercial sector. With a strong track record and a growing portfolio of 31.5 megawatts-peak of solar projects in Bahrain, Yellow Door Energy continues to bring affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions to leading businesses in the Kingdom.”
“Integrating innovative technology with environmentally conscious strategies can be transformative for the real estate industry, and this solar PPA with Seef Properties will serve as a testament to Bahrain’s achievements in sustainability,” YDE CEO further added.
Work is scheduled to commence in the first quarter with completion expected by the fourth quarter of 2025. Currently, the project is estimated to include over 15,600 solar panels, with approximately one-half placed on rooftops, and the other half installed as bifacial high-efficiency modules in car parks across the four shopping malls.
According to the statement, total capacity is projected to be 8.9 MWp, which has the potential to generate significant amounts of clean energy annually, reduce carbon emissions, and support Bahrain’s sustainability goals, in line with Bahrain’s Net Zero 2060 goals.
