The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has marked significant progress in 2025 by advancing key projects aimed at enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of its electricity transmission network across the Emirate of Sharjah.
As part of its ongoing infrastructure development strategy, SEWA successfully completed and commissioned eight high-efficiency electricity transmission and distribution substations operating at 33/11 kV. In parallel, the authority is actively progressing work on 15 additional projects under its future expansion plans to meet rising energy demand and support urban and economic growth.
According to Engineer Hamad Al Tuneiji, Director of the Energy Transmission Department, these initiatives align with the strategic vision of Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, aimed at delivering world-class utility services through advanced infrastructure and resource optimization.
SEWA continues to strengthen its electricity grid through specialized technical teams, focusing on sustainability, operational efficiency, and adherence to the highest engineering standards. The authority emphasized its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted and reliable power supply to both residential and critical sectors.
Highlighting renewable integration, Engineer Abdullah Al Kous noted the successful implementation of a project connecting the solar power plant of the Sharjah Petroleum Authority to the grid. This development enhances renewable energy adoption, improves supply stability, and supports long-term sustainability goals.
In 2025, SEWA also reinforced engineering governance by reviewing and approving 867 engineering designs related to substation projects and grid expansion, ensuring strict compliance with safety, technical, and operational standards.
Among its major strategic milestones, the authority commissioned the Al Matar 220 kV substation—the largest electricity transmission substation in Sharjah—significantly boosting grid capacity and operational flexibility.
