In alignment with Bahrain’s visionary goals to promote clean energy and sustainability, Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan Warehousing & Logistics Co., a subsidiary of Al Aujan Group, has partnered with Kanoo CleanMax, a leading developer of renewable energy sources in Bahrain.
The partnership will launch one of the largest solar energy initiatives in the warehousing and logistics sector in the kingdom.
The strategic agreement, executed through Kanoo CleanMax Renewables Assetco, was signed on behalf of the Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan Group by its chairman, Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan. Ali Abdulla Kanoo, president of Kanoo
Industrial & Energy and director of Kanoo CleanMax, signed on behalf of Kanoo CleanMax at the Aujan Group Headquarters in Manama.
This agreement underscores Bahrain’s commitment to global climate accords and sustainable development.
This pioneering project, supervised by Clenergize Consultants, entails the construction of a 1618 kWp solar power plant. Upon completion, the plant is projected to generate 2,750,600 kWh of clean energy annually, meeting 100 per cent of the facility’s electricity needs.
This initiative not only cements the group’s position as a sustainability leader but also sets a precedent for energy-efficient practices within the sector. The project leverages Kanoo CleanMax’s zero-capital expenditure solar solution, enabling Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan Group to achieve its sustainability targets while significantly reducing electricity costs.
"As a leading business in Bahrain, we recognise the importance of integrating sustainability into our operations. Partnering with Kanoo CleanMax allows us to meet our energy needs through clean, renewable sources while also contributing to Bahrain’s vision for a sustainable future. We are confident that this project will drive long-term environmental and economic benefits for our business and the community," said Abdul Lateef Al Aujan, chairman of the board of directors.
Kuldeep Jain, managing director of CleanMax, said, "Kanoo CleanMax Renewable is paving the way for top-tier sustainable solutions to enable businesses and industries across Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. We value the trust that Al Aujan Group has placed in us to drive their clean energy transition, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in Bahrain’s logistics sector."
Ali Abdulla Kanoo, director of Kanoo CleanMax and president of Kanoo Industrial & Energy, shared his views about the partnership.
“Our collaboration with Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan Group reflects our shared commitment to advancing sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship. This initiative marks a significant milestone in Bahrain’s clean energy journey, setting a strong example for others to follow in the logistics sector.”
The solar power initiative is poised to deliver substantial environmental benefits, including a significant reduction in carbon emissions. This ambitious project reaffirms Abdul Lateef Khalid Al Aujan Group’s dedication to advancing
Bahrain’s clean energy goals and setting new benchmarks for sustainability in the warehousing and logistics industry.
Kanoo CleanMax Renewable, a joint venture between YBA Kanoo Group and CleanMax, Asia’s largest developer of renewable energy assets, continues to lead the way in delivering innovative solar PV solutions.
Their commitment to enabling businesses to meet net-zero targets and reduce their carbon footprint is exemplified through initiatives like this partnership.
