Nakheel, a Dubai Holding Real Estate entity, has announced a strategic partnership with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to develop two power substations on Palm Jebel Ali, valued at AED 270 million.
DEWA will manage project tendering, awarding, and construction, ensuring the substations are completed in sync with the delivery of luxury villas.
The project will include two 132/11 KV substations, providing a total capacity of 400 MVA to power Palm Jebel Ali's core areas, including several fronds and the spine. This development follows earlier contracts for villa construction, infrastructure, and road and marine work, further advancing Nakheel's landmark project.
Palm Jebel Ali, envisioned as a global benchmark for waterfront living, aligns with Dubai’s ambitious Economic Agenda D33. Revealed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the project will contribute to Dubai's growth by introducing a new residential and leisure hub along the Jebel Ali growth corridor.
Highlighting DEWA’s critical role, Nasser Al Awadhi, Chief Land Estates Officer of Dubai Holding, stated,
“The expertise and skills of DEWA will lay a strong foundation as Palm Jebel Ali takes shape—a symbol of Dubai’s drive for progress on the global stage.”
DEWA’s Executive Vice President of Transmission Power, Hussain Lootah, praised Dubai Holding Real Estate’s commitment to quality and sustainability, noting that DEWA’s high standards ensure reliability and availability. The Palm Jebel Ali project, designed to support smart and sustainable urban living, spans 13.4 km and offers over 90 km of beachfront, panoramic Gulf views, and various lifestyle amenities, all in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
