Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, in collaboration with Meraas Holding, has inaugurated a new 132/11 kV substation with a total capacity of 150 Megavolt Amperes at Al Quoz 4, to meet the increasing demand for electricity.
Part of DEWA’s commitment to its growing portfolio of development projects, particularly in its efforts to install main substations across Dubai, this move reflects DEWA’s continued endeavours to increase efficiency and reliability of its line of 132 kilovolt substations.
Commenting on the announcement, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, said, "We strive to enhance infrastructure and utilities in Dubai according to the highest international standards, which in turn will further strengthen the UAE economy and enhance its position. This is in adherence with the directives of Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and it is also aligned with our vision to become a sustainable innovative world-class utility."
"The project aims to increase the capacity and efficiency of electricity and transmission networks at Al Quoz 4. DEWA has extended ground cables with capacity of 132 kV to connect it to the 132/11 kV ampere and the 132/400 kV ampere at Al Quoz. This will further enhance the efficiency and reliability of DEWA’s networks across vital growth areas and ensure continuity and stability of supplies to our customers at all times. This substation applies and uses state-of-the-art digital technologies, contributing to promoting their efficiency and reliability, and will eventually serve Dubai’s urban and ambitious plans," added Al Tayer.
