Project
Askar Waste-to-Energy Project
BahrainWaste Management
A waste-to-energy facility at Bahrain's only landfill, converting municipal solid waste to grid power under a Build-Operate-Transfer contract with French developer CNIM, granted by the Ministry of Works. Sources disagree on exact construction-start and commercial-operation dates (variously 2025/2026 and 2026/2027); this record preserves that uncertainty rather than asserting false precision.
