What is the energy system in Kuwait?

Kuwait's energy system structure is relatively simple. The main demand sectors include power (electricity generation and potable water production), primarily an energy conversion sector, industry (chemicals, petrochemicals, and minerals and metals industries), transportation, and agriculture sectors.

Will Kuwait increase the share of renewables in energy demand?

Kuwait has a soft target of increasing the share of renewables in total energy demand to about 15% by 2030, up from less than 1% today. The potential for increasing the share of renewables in the electricity generation mix in Kuwait is huge, given its substantial solar and wind resources. Central Statistics Ofice,

Does Kuwait need a new energy strategy?

To ensure economic development and social prosperity in the years to come, Kuwait will require a new energy strategy, combined with a plan to foster economic diversification and reduce fossil fuel dependency.

Should Kuwait reevaluate its power generation and desalination plans?

Environmental considerations, cost reductions in renewable energy technologies and higher than expected growth in electricity and water demand could persuade Kuwait to reevaluate its current expansion plans for the power generation and desalination sectors, particularly if MED and RO technologies prove to be more eficient and reliable.

How can Kuwait keep pace with rising demand for electricity?

Keeping pace with rising demand for electricity will be critical to Kuwait’s economic development, and reforms, such as opening up the power generation sector to independent power producers and independent water and power producers, are key to increasing the currently low share of private company involvement in the sector.

Does Kuwait need solar power in 2035?

Despite some progress in supporting solar generation, in the Business-as-Usual Case, the share of renewables in total primary energy demand remains low in 2035, only 3%. Electricity generation capacity in Kuwait increases by over 13.2 gigawatts over the Outlook period, reaching 32 GW in 2035, a 70% increase over capacity in 2018.
