SHARJAH: The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) is actively progressing with its project to bring natural gas service to Dibba Al-Hisn city. This comprehensive initiative involves establishing a storage facility for natural gas, distributing it through an 84-kilometre pipeline across four phases, and installing internal connections for residential homes. With an estimated cost of AED 31 million, the project aims to benefit around 17,000 residents. The endeavour reflects the visionary leadership and directives of H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, emphasising the delivery of high-quality services and expanding the natural gas network to enhance living standards across Sharjah. Engineer Ibrahim Al Balghouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department, highlighted a current completion rate of 10 percent, with initial phases set to serve specific neighbourhoods by year-end, adhering to a carefully planned schedule. Furthermore, the expansion of natural gas usage aligns with His Highness' strategic goals, promoting its environmental advantages and safety compared to traditional liquefied gas cylinders. The authority maintains rigorous standards for network installations, ensuring competitive pricing and prioritising community welfare through sustainable infrastructure development.
