A Solar Energy Trees project was launched by the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) to develop Askar coast.
The 1,200 metre-project, in co-operation with the Southern Municipality and support from the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, features the construction of structures resembling trees that generate solar energy using photovoltaic (PV) panels.
The energy is also used for the irrigation network and the electricity consumption is reduced by around 20 per cent.
It includes shaded seating areas, rides for children, toilets and green spaces.
