Empowering Businesses with KAFA’A
KAFA’A stands as the national program dedicated to increasing energy efficiency and promoting sustainable practices within buildings.
While primarily targeting high usage customers, the program's goal of reducing energy consumption is helpful to everyone. Bahrain's commercial and industrial sectors make up approximately 45% of the nation's total energy consumption, so improvements in energy efficiency within these sectors can help reduce energy costs and ensure a more reliable energy supply for all customers.
Partnering for Progress
The Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) collaborates with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to conduct energy audits, identify areas for improvement.
In addition to implementing energy-saving measures in public and private sector buildings. This collaboration results in decreased energy consumption and operational costs for businesses participating in the KAFA'A program.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
The KAFA’A Program is strategically designed to conserve approximately 509 GWh of electricity, sufficient to power thousands of homes.
By 2040, it aims to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 255,000 tonnes, this initiative not only translates to lower energy bills for customers but also contributes positively to the environment.
KAFA’A Pilot Project Success
The KAFA’A pilot project has been successful
It enhanced the energy efficiency of four government buildings, achieving a 42% reduction in energy consumption, and a reduction of 19,250 tonnes in carbon emissions.
Towards Net-Zero 2060
The KAFA’A Program plays a pivotal role in integrating renewable energy sources into Bahrain's energy mix, supporting the national target of increasing the share of renewables to 20% by 2035.
This initiative is a crucial component of Bahrain's broader strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060.
