Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has commenced operational testing of the 829 megawatts (MW) 4th phase of its power plant in Al Aweer (H-Station).

The project is due to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.

Tests include the initial operation of turbines and power generators and connecting to the power grid, the UAE state-run Wam news agency reported, citing the utility provider’s statement.
