Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates and the richest city in the world, is currently experiencing a period of massive growth. With expectations that population figures will increase three fold by 2030, the Abu Dhabi government is implementing and encouraging major investment programmes.
The water and electricity supply sector in the northern emirates will be expanded with an investment of Dh5.7 billion (around $1.55 billion):
• Construction of a 100-kilometre main water pipeline from Kalba, at the southern end of the UAE's East Coast, to Dibba, in the north, passing through the cities of Fujairah and Khor Fakkan estimated to cost Dh900 million. The pipeline will supply 23 million imperial gallons per day (Migd) to Fujairah, 5 Migd each to Khor Fakkan, Dibba and Kalba and 3 Migd to Dhadnah.
• Another 60-km pipeline, costing Dh300 million, will be built to supply 18 Migd of water to the emirate of Umm Al Quwain.
• Construction of a new main transmission station, with a capacity of 400 kV and costing Dh500 million
• Construction of a 36-kilometre main pipeline, costing Dh158 million, to supply water to Ras Al Khaimah
• Construction of two power plants with the capacity of 132 KV in Kalba and Khor Fakkan at the cost of Dh220 million
