The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has announced the full completion of the natural gas network in Al Hamriyah city, covering both East and West zones. The project, now operational, represents a $3.81mn investment and includes a network exceeding 89 kilometres intended to serve 1,655 users.

A major extension of regional infrastructure

The project forms part of the emirate’s energy infrastructure modernisation plans, supported by directives from His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. According to SEWA, the works were carried out according to the latest technical and engineering standards. This new infrastructure is designed to address the growing energy needs of this developing area.

Ibrahim Al Balghouni, Director of the Natural Gas Department at SEWA, stated that the project represents a significant milestone for the emirate in enhancing public services. He explained that the network was designed to keep pace with the region’s rapid urbanisation and to provide stable natural gas distribution to residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

Gradual rollout in other regions

The Al Hamriyah project is part of a broader strategy to expand the natural gas network across the Sharjah emirate. SEWA confirmed that 72% of the network has already been installed in the Umm Funin area, though no timeline for full completion has been disclosed. This phase aims to connect additional outlying areas, based on urban growth priorities.

Data shared by SEWA does not yet specify the annual gas volume expected to be distributed through the new network or any industrial partnerships involved during construction. The project has also not been linked to any specific financial or regulatory incentives.

Growing need for local distribution

The delivery of this network comes as the emirate continues to strengthen its local distribution capacity, in parallel with national efforts to increase the role of gas in the United Arab Emirates’ energy mix. SEWA is continuing to invest in infrastructure that allows for direct local supply, without immediate reliance on import or long-distance transport solutions.

According to information published by WAM on July 17, SEWA plans to further extend the network in the coming years to increase the number of active connections across Sharjah.
