Pöyry awarded owner's engineer services assignment by Nakheel for two substations in Dubai, UAE

Nakheel has awarded Pöyry with the owner's engineer services assignment for the establishment of 132/11kV substations for two separate developments: Jumeirah Village and Nad Al Hamar Residential Villas in Dubai, UAE. The assignment includes tender preparation and bid evaluation, design review, supervision and monitoring of installation works and commissioning of substation in coordination with Dubai Water and Electricity Authority (DEWA).

The substations are the bulk power supply point for these developments and interface between DEWA's 132kV transmission network and the 11kV distribution network. They are indoor type incorporating state-of-the-art equipment and with architecture finishes specifically selected to blend in with the theme of the development.

"This significant win continues the strong track record of owner's engineer services that Pöyry has successfully provided in the Middle East Transmission & Distribution sector, putting Poyry at the forefront as a preferred provider in the region for such services", says Anja Silvennoinen, President of Pöyry's Energy Business Group.
