Bahrain Bay Development, the company behind a $2.5 billion landmark waterfront community located in the heart of Manama, says that the development remains on track despite the effects of the current economic climate.
In an important milestone for the project, Bahrain Bay recently energised one of its 66kv power substations.
The substation will cater for the development's electricity needs and aims to offer a range of benefits including lower line losses, higher load supplies, less operational constraints and a more reliable power supply.
Bob Vincent, CEO of Bahrain Bay, said: "The energisation of our electricity substation is an important milestone for the project and further demonstrates that Bahrain Bay remains on track.
"We remain committed to the vision of Bahrain Bay and we are confident that we will navigate the challenges of today's financial environment to go on to create a waterfront community befitting of a 21st Century Bahrain."
