Statement from Dubai Electricity and Water Authority

There has been a power outage in Dubai Mall this evening, which was caused by the transfer of high-voltage cables from Dubai Mall substation, based on a request from Emaar. DEWA and Emaar had previously agreed to transfer the cables. During the transfer, the outage occurred, because one line went out of service. DEWA's technicians have fully restored power to normal service. The supply of electricity and water in the rest of the area was not affected.
