Masdar and Bapco Energies to Develop 2 GW of Wind Projects in Bahrain

This will support the decarbonisation of Bahrain’s critical industrial sectors.

Clean energy firm Masdar partnered with Bapco Energies to jointly develop up to two gigawatts of wind projects in Bahrain.

In a statement, Masdar said this project will support Bahrain’s efforts to speed up the decarbonisation of its critical industrial sectors.

“Our partnership with Masdar demonstrates our commitment towards diversifying the Kingdom of Bahrain’s energy mix to include cleaner energy sources, underscoring our role as leaders in renewable energy development,” said Bapco Energies Group CEO Mark Thomas.

“This strategic collaboration signifies a bold step towards realizing the ambitions outlined in Bahrain’s National Energy Strategy, propelling us closer to our net-zero goals,” he added.

Bahrain targets to reduce its emissions by 30% by 2035 and reach net zero by 2060.

Masdar, meanwhile, aims to reach 100 GW of renewable energy portfolio by 2030.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
