Energy in Bahrain refers to the energy and electricity production, consumption, and import in the country. Bahrain is a net energy exporter. The primary energy use in Bahrain was 110 TWh and 139 TWh per million persons in 2009, and 107 TWh and 139 TWh/million people in 2008.
Bahrain is a net energy exporter. It was the first place on the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf where oil was discovered, and the First Oil Well, located below Jabal al Dukhan, has operated since 1932. Primary energy use in Bahrain was 110 TWh and 139 TWh per million persons in 2009, and 107 TWh and 139 TWh/million people in 2008.
The price of electricity in Bahrain is 0.048 U.S. Dollar per kWh for households and 0.077 U.S. Dollar for businesses (March 2023), including all components of the electricity bill such as the cost of power, distribution, and taxes.
Bahrain will have to produce 280 megawatts of electricity from renewables by 2025, increasing to 710 megawatts by 2035, to meet the country's ambitious renewable energy targets.
The Plan includes the implementation of solar and wind energy projects and aims to generate 5 percent of the country''s electricity from renewable sources by 2025, further increasing it
