In order to progress the “Kafa’a” programme’s execution, the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) in the Kingdom of Bahrain has partnered with Etihad Energy Services Company (Etihad Esco), a division of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
With Etihad Energy Services’ eleven years of experience in energy efficiency initiatives—especially from programs similar to this one that have been implemented in numerous buildings throughout Dubai—EWA sees this partnership as crucial to the successful implementation of the “Kafa’a” programme. EWA is committed to accomplishing strategic goals that reduce electricity consumption and improve energy efficiency. By doing so, it hopes to facilitate Bahrain’s shift to a sustainable future and help the country reach its target of net-zero emissions by 2060.
In alignment with EWA’s vision, HE Eng. Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, President of EWA, highlighted the pivotal role of the “Kafa’a” programme in advancing the Authority’s objectives related to energy efficiency enhancement and consumption reduction in Bahrain. He emphasized the significance of partnering with Etihad Energy Services and leveraging innovative energy efficiency technologies to position Bahrain as a frontrunner in the region.
The “Kafa’a” programme, launched by EWA in Bahrain last December, targets the reduction of electricity consumption in buildings across the public and private sectors. Building on the success of pilot projects aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, the programme has already demonstrated promising results, including a significant reduction in energy consumption, cost savings, and carbon emissions mitigation. Through collaborative efforts with Etihad Energy Services, EWA remains steadfast in its commitment to driving sustainable progress and fostering a culture of energy conservation in Bahrain.
