His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has announced that Palm Jebel Ali is in support of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, signaling the start of a new growth corridor in the Jebel Ali area and further expanding the emirate. The development marks a significant step in transforming Palm Jebel Ali into a prominent residential and leisure destination.
Nasser Al Awadhi, Chief Land Estates Officer of Dubai Holding, expressed confidence in the partnership with DEWA, highlighting their expertise in the sector as they work together to establish Palm Jebel Ali. This collaboration aims to lay a robust foundation for the project, with emphasis on quality, sustainability, and safety in line with the latest digital technologies for transmission stations.
Hussain Lootah, Executive Vice President of Transmission Power at DEWA, commended Dubai Holding Real Estate for their efforts in constructing two power transmission stations in Palm Jebel Ali. These stations, built to the highest standards, are essential for ensuring the reliable and efficient power transmission system in the area, supporting DEWA's commitment to exceptional performance.
The development of Palm Jebel Ali will feature seven islands stretching over 13.4 kilometers, with 16 fronds and more than 90 kilometers of beachfront. This visionary project aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, reflecting Dubai's continuous urban evolution and expansion.
Infrastructure works on Palm Jebel Ali are progressing, with recent contracts awarded for villa construction, public access roads, and marine works. The project aims to set a global standard for waterfront living, integrating smart city technologies and sustainable practices to create a vibrant and dynamic community for residents and visitors.
Nakheel, the developer behind Palm Jebel Ali, has teamed up with DEWA to build two substations on the island, valued at AED 270 million.

Palm Jebel Ali represents an emblem of Dubai's ambition to lead in global advancements and urban planning. The project is part of Nakheel's iconic portfolio, contributing to Dubai's vision of sustainable growth and providing a diverse range of lifestyle amenities for future generations. The development promises to deliver a world-class infrastructure that meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and availability, in line with Dubai's vision of creating the best city for living, working, and visiting.
