Kuwait reports 70MW drop in summer 2026 demand
The Kuwait Minister of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy confirmed that the summer season of 2026 experienced a decrease in the maximum load of the electrical system, reaching 17,540 megawatts, which is lower than in the previous two years, despite increased demand due to urban and population expansion. Efforts to improve efficiency, such as reducing operating hours and shutting down factories during peak periods, contributed to relieving pressure on the power grid. The awareness campaign "Save" also played a key role in promoting a culture of conservation and reducing consumption, supporting the continuity of service despite challenges posed by Iranian attacks on power stations and lines, which led to some units going out of service. The ministry continues to implement projects to increase capacities and improve transmission and production networks, while also committed to developing renewable energy to keep pace with future growth.
