The Bahrain World Trade Center (BWTC), claimed to be the first large scale commercial development in the world to have integrated wind turbines, has just been given the all clear to start producing power.
The turbines have been undergoing daily safety and regulatory testing since August and have just been officially certified by Bahrain's Electricity Distribution Directorate (EDD).
The BWTC's turbines are predicted to provide 11-15% of the power needed to operate the offices of the 50 storey twin towers.
Atkins' senior project manager Peter Longstaff said: "The official certification from the EDD means that the turbines are now fully operational and are supplying power to the development."
