The ministry indicated that, based on the approval of CAPT, the ministry will refer the tender documents to the State Audit Bureau (SAB) for review and will soon approve the contracting of the two winning bids. Sources pointed out that the two tenders are part of the ongoing efforts of the ministry to expand the electricity distribution network responsible for transmitting electricity from the main stations to homes through secondary transformer stations and their associated cables. They stated that the extension work planned for the two tenders will enable the ministry to provide electricity continuously and meet the increasing demand for energy resulting from urban expansion in the four governorates.
