Kuwait is targeting 14.05 GW of power generation and 228 million imperial gallons of fresh water per day by 2031, in order to build strong future capacity to meet rising demand and secure supplies.

Sabeeh Al-Mukhaizeem, Minister of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy, said his ministry has made significant strides in this direction, signing a commitment document to implement the second and third phases of the Al-Zour North Power Plant project, which has a capacity of 2.7 GW, last month, reported KUNA.

This was done in cooperation with the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP) and a consortium comprising ACWA Power and the Gulf Investment Corporation, he elaborated.

The Shagaya Renewable Energy Project is important for Kuwait.

The first phase, with a capacity of 1.1 GW, was launched by the Public-Private Partnership Projects Authority last June.

The ministry seeks to guarantee Kuwait’s electrical and water future through several major upcoming projects, including the 7,200-capacity Al-Nuwaiseeb project.

Kuwait has made an unprecedented accomplishment in managing energy demand, as the maximum load hit 17,610 MW, according to figures registered on the electrify website during this summer.

Summer registered a decline of 30 MW in demand compared to the summer of 2024.
