10 years of solar growth for Yellow Door Energy

Yellow Door Energy, a leading sustainable energy partner for businesses across the Middle East and Africa, is celebrating its 10 anniversary with a major achievement: the generation of 1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy through its solar projects

This is equivalent to powering 273 million smartphones for a year while avoiding 396,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, in line with corporate and national Net Zero and clean energy objectives.

Over the past ten years, the company has established a portfolio of 400 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar assets at various stages of development, construction, and operation across seven countries. That figure is expected to rise to 500 MWp by the close of 2025.

To date, Yellow Door Energy has achieved five million person-hours during construction and operation without a single recordable incident, a testament to its strong quality, health, safety, social, and environmental (QHSSE) standards and procedures.

In the first half of 2025, the company signed four solar lease agreements in Saudi Arabia and began a large-scale solar project with GWC in Qatar. Additionally, it brought nine solar power projects online in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman, expanding its operational capacity to 155 MWp.

The company’s progress has also been recognised through two Solarabic UAE Awards: Flagship Solar Project of the Year for its collaboration with Majid Al Futtaim Mosque and Tilal Al Ghaf, the region’s first Net Positive mosque, and Distinguished Industry Contributor awarded to Jeremy Crane.

With a rapidly growing portfolio, Yellow Door Energy continues to establish itself as the leading distributed solar provider in the region. Its projects leverage innovative solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs), enabling businesses to adopt solar energy and lower electricity costs without upfront capital expenditure.

As regional investment in renewable energy accelerates, driven by the UAE’s target of nearly 20 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030 and a projected US$55 billion in renewable infrastructure spending, Yellow Door Energy is strategically positioned to support this transition toward sustainability.
