Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has launched two 132/11kV substations in the second quarter of 2014, which are now fully operational. The new stations underline DEWA’s efforts to enhance the efficiency of power transmission grids to meet the increasing demand for electricity. “In line with its mission to meet customer satisfaction and promote Dubai’s vision through delivery of electricity and water services at a world-class level of reliability, efficiency, safety, and environment by a competent workforce and effective partnerships; supporting resource sustainability, DEWA is relentlessly working, through strategic plans, to perform its projects whether related to production capacity or transmission and distribution grids to meet the increasing demand for electricity for different purposes,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA. The first substation is at Nad Al Hamar and provides electricity to the infrastructure projects of MERAS Group. It has three transformers providing 50 Megavolt Amperes (MVA) each with a total capacity of 150 Megavolt Amperes.
