Background

To meet the future economic needs of the country and as a response to the increased demand for energy in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Electricity and Water Authority of Bahrain (EWA) has expanded the 220/66kV Transmission Network.  This expansion has resulted in development of Independent Power and Water Production facilities in Bahrain under the “220kV and 66kV Transmission Development 2007 – 2011 Project”. The scope of this development covers (10) new 220kV Substations and (24) new 66kV Substations including additions to the (6) existing 220kV & 66kV Substations and all associated 220kV and 66kV communication cabling connections including remote end works for the Bahrain Financial Harbour and Diyar Al Muharraq 220kV Substations. Khaleej Al Bahrain is one of the established and new 220kV Bulk Supply Point Substations from this prestigious project.
