As part of the state’s strategy to shift to clean energy, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the beginning of installing 653 electric chargers and 713 inverters at 41 charging sites under construction for the Public Bus Infrastructure Programme. The facilities will serve the fleet of electric buses to operate according to the plan set by Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Ashghal will build various electrical charging points inside and outside Doha and provide all electrical utilities and other necessary infrastructure to connect chargers with electrical transformers and power stations.
Ashghal will construct the largest electric charging station in the region. High-efficiency solar cell shades will be established containing 10,720 solar panels that will generate 4 megawatts power per day. They will work alongside traditional sources (power station) to feed the energy needed to operate the project with highest standards and latest specifications.
The station will also have 217 double gun electric charging devices for buses with a capacity of 150 kilowatts, in addition to five electric fast chargers for buses with a capacity of 300 kilowatts.
Head of Public Projects at Building Projects Department Eng Abdulhakim Al Hashimi clarified that Ashghal will provide necessary infrastructure for charging buses and install various types of chargers including double gun chargers, single chargers to charge buses from any side, and pantographs for charging from topside.
Ashghal will also construct special chambers for feeder transformers with provision of electrical installations with a length of about 100 km. Eng Al Hashimi added that the executing company of this project is a local firm as part of the state’s endeavour to support the private sector.
The Public Bus Infrastructure Programme aims at integration with various public transport systems especially for supporting transport operations for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and beyond.
All the concerned entities are working together to implement a strategy to shift to clean energy in transportation sector, to reduce carbon emissions from traditional vehicles and improve quality of the general climate in Qatar. One important goal of this strategy is to support public transport operations during the conduction of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, making Qatar the first in the world in hosting the tournament by using environmentally friendly electric vehicles, while integrating with various means of public transport systems.
