The electricity load index on Tuesday was reported to be the highest in Kuwait’s history. The Ministry of Electricity reported that the country experienced an electricity flow of 16,180 megawatts at 2:30 PM on the same day, topping the last recorded 15,800 megawatts on 4th August and 15,670 megawatts last year.
The country’s hot weather exceeding a temperature of 51 degrees Celsius was seen as the cause of the power overload. The Ministry, however, was keen on keeping the situation under control.
