Al Batinah South power projects advance
RUSTAQ: Electricity sector indicators show notable progress in infrastructure projects in South Al Batinah during Q2 2025, according to the seventh indicator's 'Economic and Development Reports – Electricity Sector Plan'.
Nama Distribution Company said operational results reflected its commitment to expanding networks to meet growing demand. Some projects exceeded planned targets, while others faced logistical challenges the company aims to resolve through its planned measures.
The Al Shaabiya Southern Power Transformer Station in Al Musannah reached 100 per cent completion, ahead of schedule. In Wadi Al Ma'awil, the power station project achieved 45 per cent completion, compared to a target of 65 per cent.
The Khazaen transformer station in Nakhal reached 53 per cent against a 62 per cent target, while in Rustaq, the 33 and 11 kV network rehabilitation in valley areas hit 90 per cent completion, compared to a 98 per cent goal. Delays were attributed to difficulties working within residential areas.
The governorate's electrical extension projects reached 50 per cent completion against a 54 per cent target, signalling good progress in meeting rising energy needs.
These developments mark a significant step in strengthening South Al Batinah's electrical infrastructure, supporting urban and economic growth, and ensuring sustainable energy supply in the years ahead. — ONA
