The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) said it implemented and finalised a number of key development projects in Khorfakkan city last year. These included the setting up of 36 sub-distribution stations, in addition to a main-hub distribution station 11/33 kV (Al Haray Station No. 3).
Other work included the modernisation of a 3000kV amperes power station in Nahwa area, replacing the existing electric generators with contemporary, high-capacity equipment. More than 80% of the work has been completed on the Al Haray Station which will have a total capacity of 60MVA, able to supply 502 residential plots in the area, the utility major said.
SEWA said it also completed water connections to 344 residential villas, again via the Al Haray project.
