Electricity Department-New Load for 1358
1. It is understood that the Tt.A.F. intends to build hangars, etc., for one
flight, (togethor with a small workshop, offices, quarters, etc.) near their landing
ground at Muharraq, and to take a supply of electricity from the Government mains
in bulk.
. It is proposed to erect a substation at their site which will be fed from the
H.T. substation in Muharraq Town by means of a fl.T. cable. The connected load
is estimated to bo approximately 40 k.w.
2. The Government proposes to build a swing bridge across the channel,
between Manama and Muharraq. This will be driven by electricity.
3. Messrs. Cable & Wireless propose to eliminate their battery at the old
Wireless Station, which will be added to their connected load, approximately 10 k.w.
4. The Government Hospital, when completed, will take approximately
35 k.w.
5. It is estimated, provided that prospective consumers take the load they
have applied for, (and assuming that approximately 50 k.w. is added in the normal
way) that by the end of the year 1358 a further 125-50 k.w. of connected load will
be connected.
The question of generating capacity will then have to be considered with
view to enlarging the Government Station to cope with future load.
