Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) president Kamal Ahmed inspected the Jasra 400kV electricity transmission station project, one of the most prominent strategic initiatives currently being implemented in Bahrain and the largest transmission station of its kind at this stage.
The EWA president said that the project forms part of the national master plan to develop and expand electricity transmission networks. He noted that it represents a significant step forward in strengthening Bahrain’s energy infrastructure. Once operational, the station is expected to reduce the load on the Riffa subnetwork by up to 25 per cent, ensuring greater reliability and stability across the national grid.
He added that the Jasra station will also enable full utilisation of the energy produced by the second phase of Al Dur Power Plant, thereby improving load distribution efficiency and supporting Bahrain’s broader economic and urban development objectives.
The EWA president reviewed the project’s implementation stages and highlighted its importance in enhancing the kingdom’s electricity interconnection with the GCC states.
