Yellow Door Energy, a sustainable energy partner for businesses in the Middle East and Africa, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a major achievement: the generation of 1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy across its solar projects. This milestone translates into enough renewable energy to charge 273 million smartphones for a year and has helped avoid 396,000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions, supporting both corporate and national Net Zero targets.

Over the past decade, the company has developed a portfolio of 400 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar assets across seven countries, spanning projects in operation, construction and planning. This is expected to grow to 500 MWp by the end of 2025.

Yellow Door Energy has also recorded five million person-hours worked during construction and operations without a single recordable incident, reflecting its strong focus on quality, health, safety, social and environmental (QHSSE) standards.

Jeremy Crane, group CEO of Yellow Door Energy, said: “As we celebrate a decade of renewable energy leadership, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has contributed to Yellow Door Energy’s incredible journey. Our success is not just a company milestone; it is the success of businesses in the Middle East and Africa committing to Net Zero emissions. Our rapid growth is a testament to the strong momentum of the clean energy transition and the urgency to address climate change.”

In 2025 alone, the company signed four solar leases in Saudi Arabia and launched a major solar development project with GWC in Qatar. It also commissioned nine solar power projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman, expanding its operational portfolio to 155 MWp.

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

With its expanding portfolio, Yellow Door Energy has strengthened its position as the region’s top distributed solar company. Its projects are structured through innovative solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs), enabling businesses to switch to solar power without upfront capital expenditure while reducing long-term energy costs.

As the Middle East accelerates its green energy agenda — with the UAE targeting nearly 20 GW of clean energy by 2030 and planning up to $55bn in renewable infrastructure investments — Yellow Door Energy is set to play a central role in supporting this transformation.
