Lulu Group, a prominent retail chain in the GCC, is pleased to declare the expansion of its collaboration with SirajPower, the leading distributed solar energy provider in the region. This extended partnership demonstrates Lulu Group’s continued dedication to environmental sustainability and green initiatives.
After a successful collaboration in the UAE, Lulu Group has entered a long-term solar lease agreement with SirajPower, facilitating the installation of advanced 10MWp solar rooftop systems across six key locations of Lulu Hypermarkets in Bahrain.
The solar capacity will be strategically distributed among various locations, including Lulu Hypermarkets in Riffa and Hidd, the Ramli Mall at A''ali, the Lulu Dana Mall in Sanabis, and the Lulu Logistics warehouses in Sitra. Al Namal Group, a leading local partner specializing in construction, contracting, real estate, property development and management, health, and hospitality, will provide expertise and services for the installation of these solar systems.
These cutting-edge solar panels are anticipated to generate approximately 17GWh of clean energy annually, leading to a reduction of about 12,078 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. This initiative aligns with Lulu Group’s sustainability goals and supports Bahrain’s vision for clean energy.
The partnership was commemorated during a signing ceremony at Lulu Group''s headquarters in Bahrain, attended by key figures including Lulu Group Director Mr. Juzer Rupawala, Laurent Longuet (Chief Executive of SirajPower), David Auriau (Director and Board Member of SirajPower), Jeeben Varghese Kurian (Executive Director of Al Namal Group), and senior officials from both entities.
