The station is built to the highest standards, using technology that ensures sustainable supply of electricity in case of emergency, he said.
The Kahramaa president confirmed the commitment of the corporation in implementing all the infrastructure as per the set schedule based on the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, with the support of the government and as per the strategic plans to develop the electricity network, which serves the vital projects in the country.
