Learn MoreThe Ministry of Electricity and Water estimates that reserve margins could drop to 8% by 2020. Kuwait plans to increase base-load electricity generating capacity to 32 GW by 2035 (see Chapter 2). Until very recently, the Ministry of Electricity and Water was solely responsible for the development of the electricity sector.
The country plans to increase the share of gas-fired power plants in the future, but as gas production is underdeveloped, it is currently a net importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). 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.
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.
The Az-Zour desalination plant will account for approximately 20% of Kuwait's installed capacity. Another IWPP is being developed for Phase 1 of the planned Al-Khiran water and power plant. Kuwait relies on oil and natural gas to generate electricity, with oil accounting for 64% of the generating capacity in 2015.
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.
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,
