Water and electricity projects across Bahrain exceed $1.53 billion

The government's belief in the importance of electricity and water as important sources of energy, and the backbone of other services and other sectors, prompted it through the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) to plan and implement quality projects worth more than $1.53 billion during the past decade and others being implemented, Shaikh Khalid said as he chaired the meeting of the Ministerial Committee for Development and Infrastructure Projects. Electricity and Water Minister Wael bin Nasser Al Mubarak briefed the meeting on the projects to develop the electricity and water networks. Shaikh Khalid thanked Al Mubarak and the EWA CEO Shaikh Nawaf bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa and the personnel for their efforts to implement the government's program for 2019-2022 related to the development of electricity and water networks that would secure a supportive environment for sustainable development, enhance the readiness of energy and water infrastructure and raise the efficiency and sustainability of the services provided. The EWA projects aim to ensure that energy reaches all regions of the Kingdom and that it is regularly and sustainably supplied with this vital service to meet the current and future needs of the residential, investment, commercial, industrial and other sectors, Shaikh Khalid said.
