Saudi Arabia, Makkah: Masar Makkah, a $27 B mega project under development in the city, is advancing work with new deal for its power requirements.
The project developer Umm Al-Qura Co. for development and construction, known as UAQ, signed an agreement with the National Electricity Transmission Co. to establish two central transmission stations and linking them to the electrical system network.
This agreement comes within the efforts made by the Saudi Electricity Company and its subsidiaries to provide a highly reliable electrical service to all giant projects in the Kingdom, Ibrahim Al-Jarbou, CEO of the Electricity Transmission Co. said.
Masar Makkah is 30 % away from the completion of its infrastructure phase, with the partial opening of the project slated for 2023.
The importance of Masar lies in its position as it will receive 80 % of Makkah’s visitors as well as more than 60 percent of vehicles arriving from Jeddah. International hotels such as the Kempinski, Hilton Garden Inn and Taj will be some of the first developments of the project.
