Just like its economy, Qatar’s electricity sector is
experiencing double-digit growth rates. In the West
Bay area, a newly developed neighborhood of Qatar’s
capital Doha, Siemens delivered the power supply for
more than 100 high-rise buildings. To meet the particular
challenge of inte grating the sub stations into the sur-
rounding cityscape, Siemens developed a bespoke
architectural solution that fully satisfied the customer.
16
Within only 18 months, Siemens built and commissioned
two high-voltage substations for Kahramaa (Qatar General
Electricity and Water Corporation) that cover the 220-kV,
66-kV, and 11-kV voltage levels and another station at
the 66-kV/11-kV voltage levels. The substations, which
are equipped with compact and modular gas-insulated
Siemens switchgear, are perfectly integrated in the sur-
rounding area and virtually “invisible”.
The benefits for the customer:
The substations, that provide power to Kahramaa’s
customers, are considered to be the most advanced
and aesthetic constructed in Qatar from an electrical
and architectural point of view.
Siemens has already made several major contributions
to the development of Qatar’s energy infrastructure with
more than 1,200 switchgear bays in operation.

Dubai has seen spectacular growth and an economy
diversifying at a fast pace. The densely urbanized land-
scape of the city demands space-saving solutions that
maximize efficiency. Focusing on a reduced footprint,
Siemens designed and built Car Complex, a 400-kV high-
voltage substation that uses advanced gas-insulated
switchgear technology. Small but powerful, this
sub station supplies electricity not only to Dubai Inter-
national Airport but also to several residential and
commercial areas.
20
Reduced footprint
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)
appointed Siemens to perform all supply, installation,
testing and commissioning tasks as well as associated
work of the 400/132-kV Car Complex substation. The
scope of supply included 12 bays of 400-kV as well as
29 bays of 132-kV gas-insulated switchgear, four 505 MVA
power transformers, and three 40 MVAr shunt reactors.
The benefits for the customer:
Compared to substations with air-insulated switchgear,
a substation with gas-insulated technology requires only
one-quarter of the space. Siemens’ compact GIS solutions
help the client to provide reliable power and minimizes
space requirements as well as maintenance efforts.
Siemens’ expertise in project management and engineer-
ing, backed by proven methods and processes, supported
the successful delivery of more than 850 high-voltage
switchgear bays in Dubai.

Estimates are that Saudi Arabia’s population will increase
from 28 million to 40 million within the next ten years.
To meet the significant rise in power demand, the installed
capacity will have to double. It will be necessary to build
new power plants with a combined capacity of at least
4,000 MW every year. This is why the Kingdom is making
major investments in the expansion of power-supply
capacities.

The cluster pumping station near Basra was one of ten
such stations that Siemens rehabilitated after it was
badly damaged in the Second Gulf War. The reconstruc-
tion of already existing pumping stations was one of the
most important measures necessary to rebuild Iraq’s
infrastructure. Siemens completed the complex turn-
key project in a very short time to the full satisfaction
of the client.
