As part of a continuous endeavour to improve the quality of the electrical sector and develop its capabilities, the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has decided to build two new stations at a total cost of QR155mn. Kahramaa announced on Tuesday in a statement that it has awarded a project to build both Al Luqata and Gharfat Al Rayyan stations with a voltage of 11/132 kV. A local company has been chosen for the project implementation.
This project comes within the framework of the corporation's continuous efforts to develop electrical transmission networks in proportion to the growth in demand. "This is in order to meet the future electricity needs of the country and ensure the security and continuity of services through electrical transmission and distribution networks in line with the stations' operational frameworks," the statement noted.
The importance of the two proposed stations also lies in enhancing the capacity of the electrical network in Al Luqata and Gharafa Al Rayyan areas. The new stations will ensure the improvement of the quality of electrical services in these areas, which in turn contributes to serving and supporting all vital future projects in the country.
