Executing the grid sub-station at Mirfa is an important step towards achieving this goal. Moreover, this agreement underscores our long-standing relationship with TRANSCO and the trust placed in Siemens technologies."

Wolfgang Braun, Head of Siemens Power Transmission Middle East, added : "Economic diversification and demographics are driving the development of the power sector in Abu Dhabi and the region. Siemens' advanced technological expertise, on-time project delivery and its knowledge of the region and its challenges have helped cement its position as a reliable partner and innovative solutions provider."
