The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy has completed operating the last two main transfer stations in South Abdullah Al-Mubarak, so that Kuwaiti citizens living in that area can access power to their plots of land.
The sources said, “With the completion of the operation of the last two of the four main transfer stations, the ministry will have completed the operation of all the main transfer stations, as well as the secondary ones associated with them to feed all the region’s areas,” reports Al-Rai daily.
The sources stated that the number of plots expected to receive power exceeds 700, thus completing the process of delivering power to all plots of land in the region, noting the keenness of the Ministry and the officials of the distribution networks sector to deliver power to the plots of the new areas, in coordination with the The Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW)
In a separate context, the sources said, “The Ministry is seeking to implement solar energy projects in accordance with the Independent Power Provider (IPP) system by receiving a number of companies specialized in this field to establish solar energy plants at full speed to meet the country’s electricity needs during the coming years,” noting that the Ministry is accelerating to increase its electricity production capacity, in light of the annual increase in consumption rates between 5 to 6 percent, to avoid an energy shortage crisis in 2025.
“The Ministry explained to the representatives of these companies the goals that it wants to achieve, and expects them to submit the best offers, which confirms their ability to meet those goals that the Ministry seeks to implement,” say the sources.
On the other hand, the Supreme Committee for Partnership Projects between the public and private sectors will hold its meeting this week to discuss the feasibility study for the Al-Shaqaya project, for which the global consultant has finished preparing the tender documents, in preparation for their presentation and implementation, to raise the electrical production capacity, specifically that energy produced from renewable sources.
