JOBS AT QATAR ELECTRICITY & WATER AUTHORITY

Early 1900’s to 1940’s: From the early 1900’s to the late 1940’s, no information is available about the status of the supply of water and electricity in Qatar. Records show that Qatar’s first Oil Well in Dukhan started production in 1940 and first oil shipment was exported in 1949. These are indicators that large permanent communities may have been established around that period needing sustained water and electricity for survival and industry.

Early 1950’s - Late 1960’s

• The supply of water and electricity were controlled by the British. They came under two separate departments, the State Electricity Department and the State Water Department. Qatar was then a British Protectorate.

• First Desalination Plant with a capacity of 150,000 imperial gallons per day was built in 1953.

• The first diesel powered electricity station was built in Mushaireb, stationed where the Le Mirage Hotel now stands.

• The Ras Abu Aboud power station began operation in 1963 using steam turbines.

• Ras Abu Aboud desalination plant began distilling water over the same period.

• Desalinated water was stored in ground reservoirs and water towers then carted by water tankers to consumers.

• All users of water and electricity paid for the service.
