Beyon expands to a third renewable-powered data center in Bahrain
Beyon says its third data center will run on renewable energy once Phase 5 of its Solar Park is complete, adding about 2.5 GWh of clean power a year.
Beyon announced the expansion during this year’s Gateway Gulf conference, in the presence of Bahrain Beyon Group chairman Sheikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, framing it as the latest step in the company’s long-running investment in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy. Developed with Almoayyed Solar, Phase 5 represents an investment of roughly 544,500 Bahraini dinars across 14,000 square meters, with 2,292 solar panels and a total installed capacity of 1.5 MWp; once finished in the coming months, it’s expected to generate about 2.5 GWh of clean energy annually while cutting carbon emissions by more than 1,585 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Completing Phase 5 will bring to three the number of Beyon data centers running on renewable power, adding to the group’s push for sustainable digital infrastructure as demand for data, cloud, and digital services keeps growing. The solar program has also expanded beyond Beyon’s own data centers: in 2026 the company completed Phase 4, extending renewable adoption to Total CX’s customer contact center and making it Bahrain’s first green contact center. That built on a milestone from Gateway Gulf 2025, when Phase 3 of the Solar Park let Beyon’s Tier III–certified data center in Hamala run entirely on renewable power, part of a multi-year program to grow clean energy’s share across Beyon’s infrastructure and help clients meet their own sustainability and ESG goals.
“Data centers are becoming increasingly central to the digital economy, and we believe their continued expansion must go hand in hand with a more sustainable approach to powering critical infrastructure,” said Beyon Group CEO Andrew Kvaalseth, calling the three-data-center milestone a reflection of the scale and consistency of the group’s renewable-energy investment. Almoayyed International Group president Mohammed Almoayyed said the partnership continues to show what long-term collaboration can deliver at scale, and that the successive phases reflect a sustained commitment to clean energy across Beyon’s critical infrastructure.
Why it matters
The expansion shows a Gulf telecom and digital-infrastructure group tying its data-center growth directly to renewable capacity, positioning sustainability as a baseline requirement rather than an add-on as regional compute demand rises.
