Reimbursable Advisory Services : Bahrain's Energy Efficient Lighting Initiative
The power sector in the Kingdom of
Bahrain is growing rapidly with demand increasing at an
annual rate of over 10 percent. While adding new power
generation capacity costs both time and money, the
fossil-fuel dominated power sector contributes to both
global and local emissions. It is estimated by
Bahrain's Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) that
generation capacity is around 3,167 megawatt (MW), against a
peak demand of over 2,700 MW. The peak load continues to
grow, and the power system's reserve margin is small.
Out of the total consumption of about 12,000 gigawatt hours
(GWh) per year on the EWA grid, nearly 50 percent of
consumption is in the residential sector, followed by the
commercial sector (38 percent). As observed in other warmer
parts of the world, air-conditioning and lighting
contributes the most to peak loads in Bahrain.
