Dubai Investments Park (DIP), the largest integrated business and residential community in the Middle East, has joined hands with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) to construct 14 new power stations to cater to the rising electricity needs of tenants and to meet future demand.
DIP has announced that a total of 13 132/11 kV substations and one large-capacity 400 kV substation will be constructed.
The power stations will be located strategically to ensure they cater for all existing and future DIP plot connections. Three of the 132/11 KV substations have already been commissioned by Dewa, while two more are expected to be commissioned in July 2009.
“DIP has grown to become the Middle East’s premier industrial hub. Its strategic location and world-class infrastructure have attracted leading manufacturing and logistics companies from around the world. With investors continuing to flock to DIP, there has been a sharp rise in demand for electricity within the Park,” said DIP GM Omar Al Mesmar.
DIP hosts more than 1200 companies. Current demand for land at DIP is estimated to be almost double the volume of land already leased as investors continue to flock to it to set up manufacturing and warehousing facilities.
