Qatar’s Dolphin Energy Limited is supplying Sharjah with gas for the first time through the Qatar-UAE transit pipeline, the company has announced.
The gas is being delivered to the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) via Dolphin’s new pipeline connection to Dubai on an interruptible basis begun on April 18.
Through existing supply arrangements to the Federal Electricity & Water Authority (FEWA), and Sharjah Electricity & Water Authority (SEWA), the company now supplies all UAE Emirates with its natural gas. Dolphin already supplies gas directly to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah.
Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, Dolphin Energy’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Dolphin is happy that it can supply gas to Sharjah to meet the Emirate’s growing energy needs. Dolphin gas is currently helping all of the UAE’s emirates to meet power demand, and we shall assist wherever we can in future.”
In February, the company has achieved full capacity that reached a daily maximum of 2 billion standard cubic feet of gas a day. |
