Keeping pace with rising demand for electricity will be critical to Kuwait’s economic development, and reforms, such as opening up the power generation sector to independent power producers and independent water and power producers, are key to increasing the currently low share of private company involvement in the sector.
Kuwait has several government institutions participating at varying levels in the power sector, all with different mandates. The Ministry of Electricity and Water oversees all aspects of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Kuwaiti citizens account for 30% of the total population, but they use about two-thirds of the total amount of energy consumed in the country. Average temperatures hover in the upper 40so Celsius during summer months. Over the past few years, these “summer” months have extended from April to October.
This could be facilitated through more coordination and collaboration between energy players within Kuwait and improving the institutional capacity for data collection. The lack of collaboration and expertise contribute to long delays in receiving feedback and data from energy entities. The situation, however, is expected to improve.
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,
The 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.
