Tamimi Markets has entered a lease agreement with Yellow Door Energy to provide solar power for its distribution centers in Jeddah and Dammam, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the nation’s net-zero emissions target for 2060, according to information from Yellow Door Energy.
Yellow Door Energy will handle the financing, design, construction, and operation of rooftop solar plants with a combined capacity of 900 kilowatts—465 kilowatts for the Jeddah site and 435 kilowatts for two locations in Dammam. The installations will cover about 7,200 square meters and feature more than 1,500 advanced bifacial solar panels.
Once operational, the solar plants are projected to generate 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity per year, cutting carbon emissions by roughly 586 metric tons annually. Construction is in progress, and the project is set to finish by the end of 2025.
Bobby Rajendran, Chief Executive Officer of Tamimi Markets, highlighted the company’s dedication to sustainability, emphasizing the importance of the partnership in reducing emissions and supporting national climate objectives. Hisham Al-Hujailan, Chief Executive Officer for the Middle East at Yellow Door Energy, described the initiative as a reflection of Saudi Arabia’s leadership in sustainability. Regional Director Khaled Shabaro noted this marks the company’s fifth solar leasing contract in the Kingdom, with plans for further expansion to help achieve the 2060 net-zero goal.
The agreement enables Tamimi Markets to adopt clean energy without upfront costs or operational risk, while maintaining its focus on high-quality retail services.
