Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) awarded contracts worth Dh70 million to several leading companies to supply 838 km of low-voltage power cables to service the expansion of the electricity distribution network.

The contracts include the supply of cables across different regions in Dubai to keep pace with the continued growth in demand for electricity from various consumer sectors.

“We are moving ahead with our vital development projects, particularly in infrastructure, and these projects will be applied to various projects at Dewa, contributing to the increase in capacity, efficiency, and reliability of the electricity distribution network. This will ensure a continuous and stable supply of electricity to Dewa’s customers, thus achieving Dubai’s sustainable and happy development for its future generations,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of Dewa.

It is expected that the manufacture and supply of these cables will be completed by September 2019. - TradeArabia News Service
