King Khalid University has two days ago, inaugurated an electrical energy transmission station at the headquarters of the University City, at Al-Farah, with a capacity of 132 / 13.8 kV, and a conversional ability amounting to 150 MVA. The station could feed medium voltage station (13.8) kV, and include 41 Keys with the capacity of 630 amp through which buildings are fed.

The action is in line with the aspirations of the University City to deliver services characterized by the highest standards of efficiency, reliability and availability at all levels.
