The Kingdom of Bahrain National Energy Efficiency Action Plan
January 2017
The Plan identifies specific programs and new initiatives across various sectors, and encompasses energy efficiency plans developed by individual institutions. The Plan sets a national target for energy savings, identifies implementing mechanisms, and provides estimates of energy and monetary savings.
Pillars & Objectives
Pillar:
Energy Efficiency
Objectives:
- Reduce energy demand in buildings by putting in place comprehensive mandatory energy efficiency specifications for the construction of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings.
- Reduce energy consumption in buildings through making energy performance of buildings explicit through the use of building energy labels.
- Reduce the subsidization of transport fuel to drive more efficient consumption of fuel.
- Introduce minimum energy performance standards and labeling for all vehicles to transform the market towards vehicles with higher fuel efficiencies.
Pillar:
Renewable Energy
Objectives:
- Increase the deployment of solar energy systems to diversify energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
- Promote the use of wind energy by establishing pilot projects and evaluating their feasibility
- Utilize waste-to-energy technologies to convert waste into usable energy.
Pillar:
Institutional Infrastructure
Objectives:
- Build and strengthen the institutional infrastructure necessary for the successful achievement of the NEEAP target through proper design, implementation, and monitoring of initiatives
- Coordinate implementation activities among all stakeholders, draft energy efficiency policies, and conduct monitoring and evaluation of initiatives.
