DUBAI // A new Dh106 million power station has begun operations to meet the emirate’s growing power demands, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has announced.
The 132/11kV substation in Dubai Academic City has a capacity of 150 megavolt amperes (MVA).
“The project further strengthens the capacity of DEWA’s electricity transmission network to Dubai Academic City,” said Saeed Al Tayer, managing director and chief executive of Dewa.
“A total of 3.2km of 132kV ground cables have been extended to connect it with the 132/400kV substation in Al Warsan, and the 132/11kV substation in Al Ruwayyah.
“This will further enhance the efficiency and reliability of DEWA’s networks across key areas and ensure continuity and stability of supply to all customers at all times.”
Dewa currently has 48 132kV substations under construction, in addition to ongoing work to upgrade existing substations.
