UAE, Dubai: Dubai developer Nakheel and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) will develop two substations on Palm Jebel Ali. The substations are worth 270 million UAE dirhams ($73.51 million).

DEWA will provide project management services for tendering, awarding, and constructing the two substations, scheduled to be completed in line with the delivery of the luxury villas. The project includes the construction of two 132/11 KV substations with a total capacity of 400 MVA of power, expected to meet the power requirements of a major portion of Palm Jebel Ali, including several of the fronds and spine.

Nakheel awarded three major contracts this month for the construction of exclusive ultra-luxury villas on the first six fronds of Palm Jebel Ali. The contracts are collectively valued at more than $1.4 billion. Palm Jebel Ali’s seven islands span 13.4 kilometres, feature 16 fronds and over 90 kilometres of beachfront.
