Bahrain Financial Harbour’s has successfully completed the commissioning of a dedicated primary sub-station by the Ministry of Electricity and Water.

The new sub-station would substantially strengthen the power supply for the landmark $1.5-billion Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH), the company said in a statement.

 The move closely follows the announcement of the relocation of the Bahrain Stock Exchange to the development marking a significant milestone for the project.

“The commissioning of the Sub-Station is a significant milestone for BFH as it will ensure us of 24/7 un-interrupted power supply and will now form the key power source for the entire development. We are extremely grateful to the Government, especially the Ministry of Electricity and Water for having accorded priority to BFH and for having completed this project. Our own power generation infrastructure network would now be used as a back-up source, always ensuring zero downtime for the project,” said BFHHC Managing Director Dr Omer El Mardi.

The commissioned dedicated primary BFH sub-station has been designed with a capacity of a maximum load of 48 MVA and will cater to the electrical power demand for all of the various projects within the BFH development. – TradeArabia News Service
