SEWA commences AED31m gas initiative
Project will benefit 17,000 residents, with supply active to first neighbourhoods by year-end, says utilities firm
The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) is actively implementing the next phase of its gas supply project for residential areas across Dibba Al-Hisn.
This comprehensive initiative involves establishing a storage facility for natural gas, distributing it through an 84-km pipeline across four phases, and installing internal connections for residential homes. With an estimated cost of AED31m, the project aims to benefit around 17,000 residents.
Engineer Ibrahim Al Balghouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department, said nearly 10% of the power connections have been completed, with initial phases set to serve specific neighbourhoods by year-end 2024. All work is set to adhere to a carefully planned schedule and current roll-out is proceeding fully according to plan.
SEWA maintains rigorous standards of international best practice for its network installations, and seeks to ensure competitive pricing for the end-user. Its wider objective is to consistently proritise community welfare through sustainable infrastructure development across the emirate.
