His Excellency Engineer Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, President of the Electricity and Water Authority, reiterated EWA’s unwavering commitment to the continuous development and expansion of electricity transmission networks in Bahrain.
This strategic objective aims to meet the rising demand for electricity and water services and ensure their provision at the highest standards of quality. Central to this ongoing effort is the ambitious Jassrah Power Transmission Station project, which will significantly enhance Bahrain’s energy infrastructure.
The project entails the construction of a cutting-edge 400-kilo-volt power transmission station in the Jassrah area. This station will be connected to the main network through the installation of three 400-kilovolt underground cables spanning 130 kilometers.
Additionally, a new 220-kilovolt sub-transmission system extending 100 kilometers will be established.
