The goal is to provide gas services to all areas and accommodate future expansions.

He added that gas pumping stations have significant capacity to handle any anticipated increases in natural gas usage, ensuring sustainable and reliable energy supply for Sharjah’s residents and businesses.

Recently, SEWA launched the largest 220 kV substation in the network, located at the airport area in Umm Fannin.

This strategic move, with a cost exceeding Dhs500 million, aims to boost the energy infrastructure of Sharjah city.

The project was carried out in collaboration with Siemens Energy and General Projects Company for Mechanical and Electrical Contracting.

The project was implemented following the highest global standards to ensure quality, efficiency, and reliability in providing sustainable energy.

The new substation includes four 400 MVA transformers (220/132 kV) and four 75 MVA transformers (132/33 kV), offering a total capacity of over 1,200 MW, serving vital areas of Sharjah. This expansion will meet the city’s growing energy demand and improve the electrical grid’s reliability and flexibility.

The new substation will also support the city’s economic and urban growth, ensuring future energy demands are met.
