A landmark draft law aimed at regulating Bahrain’s renewable energy sector, encouraging clean energy production and supporting the kingdom’s goal of carbon neutrality is set to be debated by the Shura Council during its weekly session on Sunday.
The 20-article Renewable Energy Law has been proposed by five chamber members led by services committee vice-chairman Talal Al Mannai.
It seeks to establish a comprehensive legal framework to promote renewable energy generation, regulate its integration into the national grid and provide incentives for investment in the sector.
The law would give renewable energy producers the right to use generated power for personal consumption and to sell surplus electricity to the national grid.
Violators would face fines of up to BD10,000, with them also requiring to remove violations at their own expense.
