This project includes constructing a jet valve chamber to extend the lower outlet valve of Hatta Dam to the Wadi area. This project is part of the pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant that DEWA is currently constructing in Hatta, which is the first station of its kind in the GCC region.

The hydroelectric power plant includes the construction of two reservoirs with a storage capacity of 30 million gallons of desalinated water, the construction of supporting buildings, and the extension of entrance and exit pipes. The structural foundation works for all facilities and reservoirs are 100 percent complete, while the above-ground works are 92 percent complete, and nearly 99 percent of the pipes have been laid.
