Al-Makhzhem: Power Supply Secure Until 2026
The Minister of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy in Kuwait, Dr. Subaih Al-Makhzoum, confirmed that the summer season of 2026 concluded with a maximum recorded load of 17,540 megawatts, which is 70 megawatts lower than the summer of 2025. This decline occurred despite urban expansion and the addition of new electrical loads to the grid, which totaled 2,078 megawatts during 2024 and 2025. Efforts to promote energy conservation and raise awareness through the "Save" campaign contributed to reducing electricity demand during peak times. Measures such as shortening working hours in government agencies and shutting down factories during peak periods helped ease pressure on the electrical system, even in light of extraordinary circumstances the country faced due to Iranian attacks, which caused technical losses and delays in maintenance programs. Al-Makhzoum emphasized that the season's results reflect the success of efforts to improve energy efficiency and the sustainability of the system, as the ministry continues to implement projects to increase capacity and develop networks, in line with future growth needs.
