Nakheel, a key player in Dubai Holding’s innovative real estate ventures, has forged a strategic partnership with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to develop two vital substations on Palm Jebel Ali, with a total investment of AED 270 million. This collaboration underscores a commitment to enhancing infrastructure for one of Nakheel’s most ambitious projects.
Powering the Future
The initiative will see the construction of two 132/11 kV substations, boasting a combined capacity of 400 megavolt amperes (MVA). These substations are set to meet the energy needs of a substantial portion of Palm Jebel Ali, including several fronds and the main spine of this extraordinary development. DEWA will oversee project management, encompassing all aspects from tendering to the construction of these key facilities.
Setting New Standards in Waterfront Living
Palm Jebel Ali is poised to redefine luxury waterfront living, offering a wide range of lifestyle amenities. This project is envisioned to significantly contribute to Dubai’s economic growth and to create a vibrant community for residents and visitors alike. Nakheel aims to establish an environment that reflects the city’s ambition, innovation, and commitment to excellence.
Nasser Al Awadhi, Chief Land Estates Officer at Dubai Holding, remarked, “We are confident that DEWA’s expertise will be instrumental in establishing a robust foundation for Palm Jebel Ali. This development is a testament to Dubai’s relentless pursuit of progress and its ambition to make a lasting impact on the global stage.”
A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
The collaboration with DEWA guarantees that the substations will be built according to the utmost standards of quality, sustainability, and safety. Hussain Lootah, Executive Vice President of Transmission Power at DEWA, emphasized the importance of using advanced digital technologies in constructing these power stations. All entities in Dubai are collaborating to position the city as the leading global destination for living, working, and visiting. As Dubai continues to grow, we remain committed to developing world-class infrastructure that meets the highest standards of reliability and quality,” he said.
Building for the Future
This announcement follows previous contracts awarded earlier this year, which enabled the start of villa construction, infrastructure development, public access roads, and marine works on Palm Jebel Ali. The new substations will play an essential role in supporting these initiatives, ensuring a dependable power supply for future residents and businesses.
Nakheel’s vision to create sustainable and luxurious living spaces is embodied in Palm Jebel Ali, which is set to become a landmark in Dubai’s real estate sector. With DEWA’s support, the project aims not only to fulfill current energy demands but also to facilitate future growth and innovation.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Nakheel and DEWA marks a significant milestone in the development of Palm Jebel Ali. With an investment of AED 270 million, this project reflects the dedication of both organisations to improving Dubai’s infrastructure and contributing to a sustainable future. As they work together to realise this ambitious vision, Palm Jebel Ali promises to be a transformative addition to Dubai’s dynamic landscape.
