New SEWA circuit reinforces electricity network in Sharjah, using Ducab HV specialised cables
Dubai, UAE – Ducab HV has provided a full turnkey solution to Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) for its newest project – its longest ever high voltage power circuit, which runs between Muwaileh and Sajaa. The project has been completed within a short period of time to meet the energy demands of Sharjah City.
Using Ducab HV cables, SEWA’s new circuit strengthens its existing network, allowing for future development of power supply to Rahmaniyah, Sharjah Airport Free Zone, and University City. The project uses more than 160km of Ducab HV 132kV cables, which were supplied and installed by Ducab HV.
Abdulla Ali, Installations Manager, Ducab HV, said: “This was our largest project to date, and we are exceptionally proud of our work with SEWA. Being a local company enabled us to be agile enough to deliver to their requirements in a short time, thereby providing SEWA with the opportunity to complete this landmark project in a quick and efficient manner. Ducab HV would like to congratulate SEWA on the successful conclusion of this project.”
May Al leem, PPD Director, SEWA, said: “Ducab HV was able to provide us with cabling for our new circuit in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our experience in this collaboration was positive from start to finish, demonstrating the very real benefits of using local suppliers as opposed to importing materials. With the new cabling in place, we are now able to better meet the growing energy demands of Sharjah City, with the potential to expand as needed.”
