Power cuts in high-consumption Industrial areas in Kuwait
The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said on Sunday power cuts would occur to industrial areas with high-energy consumption in order to maintain the stability of the country’s electrical system.
In a press release, the ministry said the power cuts would included parts of the Mina Abdullah, Sabhan, Amghara, Sulaibiya Industrial, Rai and Shuwaikh Industrial as well.
The outage is due to a fuel supply disruption that occurred on Saturday, which led to shutdown of several electricity-generating units at Subiya and West Doha power stations as well as desalination plants, it added.
The ministry called for conserving electricity during the upcoming peak hours from 11:00 am to 05:00 pm local-time by following the ministry’s guidelines, noting that any new updates would be announced. (KUNA)
