Three global consortia compete for 1,100 MW Kuwait power projects
Kuwait advances renewable energy plans with key bids for Al-Dabdaba and Al-Shagaya
The Kuwait Authority Public-Private Partnership Projects has opened the technical bids for the Al-Dabdaba Power Generation Project and the Al-Shagaya Renewable Energy Project (Phase Three – Project One).
Informed sources within the authority told Al-Rai that the bids study committee will first evaluate the three technical submissions before opening the financial bids, which will determine the winning consortium for this strategic project, expected to produce 1,100 megawatts of electricity.
Sources confirmed that three out of nine consortia submitted bids for the project. These include the Saudi ACWA Power consortium, the Emirati Masdar consortium, and the EDF consortium.
The project will generate electricity using a combination of photovoltaic (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), and wind technologies.
It is considered a key component of Kuwait’s strategy to diversify energy sources and promote sustainable development.
The initiative is designed to strengthen the national grid, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and support Kuwait’s vision of sustainable energy development through active collaboration between the public and private sectors.
