Kuwait tenders main Saad Al-Abdullah substation contract

28 October 2024

Kuwait's Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) has tendered a contract to construct a main substation project at South Saad Al-Abdullah Residential City.

The selected bidder will supply, install, implement and maintain the planned 11/132/400-kilovolt (kV) substation

The PAHW expects to receive bids for the contract, for which it set a bid bond of KD500,000 ($1.6m), on 28 October.

Located in Kuwait's Al-Jahra Governorate, the South Saad Al-Abdullah housing project covers an area of 64 square kilometres and consists of five residential areas with 24,508 housing units.

The PAHW recently awarded two substation contracts for another city, which is being developed in Al-Jahra.

The Kuwait branch of Saudi Arabia's National Contracting Company (NCC) won a contract to build 10 132/11-kV substations in Sabah Al-Ahmad City, MEED reported earlier this month.

The substations will cater to neighbourhoods N5, N6, N8 and N10 in South Sabah Al-Ahmed City. The 24-month contract is valued at SR534m ($142m).

Al-Ahleia Switchboard Company won the other tender for the supply, installation, implementation and maintenance of 10 11/132kV main transformer stations in Sabah Al-Ahmed's N5, N7 and N9 neighbourhoods.

Located 80 kilometres south of Kuwait City, the South Sabah Al-Ahmad residential development will be home to an estimated 280,000 people when complete.
