Manama - Emirates Voice
Electricity and Water Affairs Minister Dr. Abdulhussain Mirza received United Nations Resident Coordinator and Resident Representative Amin Al-Sharqawi and discussed mechanisms to encourage the private sector to support and invest in the solar energy market in line with the goals of sustainable development.
“The use of solar energy has many benefits as it is a clean energy that does not affect the environment and it also provides the gas consumed in generating electricity,” said Dr. Mirza. “The cost of production has also decreased significantly in recent times.”
Al-Sharqawi said that the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is working to support the Sustainable Energy Unit by providing the necessary technical expertise to achieve the objectives of the National Renewable Energy Plan. He said this will support Bahrain in achieving the goals of sustainable development, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
He said he was hopeful renewable energy would constitute five per cent of total energy use in Bahrain by 2025.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
