The fifth batch of contractors and consultants approved for the installation of solar systems has been announced.

A total of 42 out of 55 contractors and consultants, who took part in the training programme organised by the Sustainable Energy Centre in collaboration with the Electricity and Water Authority and the United Nations Development Programme, passed the programme.

They were awarded certificates by Minister Dr Abdulhussain Mirza, who revealed that 198 out of a total of 250 participants passed the examination.

“This training programme is one of the key elements in the strategy of implementing and encouraging the use of renewable energy in Bahrain to attract investments in the fields of renewable energy and to contribute to the advancement of economic development,” said Dr Mirza.

“This is an important step in the process of enriching and enabling the local market to keep up with the growing demand for renewable energy projects and the commitment of the Sustainable Energy Centre to build capacities and fill gaps in the renewable energy sector.”

The names of the contractors and licensed consultants will be available on EWA’s website www.ewa.bh so that people can contact them for installation of solar energy systems at homes or public facilities.
