Electricity triumphs in summer contest
The summer of 2026 in Kuwait saw a decline in the peak electricity load, which reached 17,540 megawatts, a decrease of 70 megawatts compared to summer 2025, despite the addition of new electrical loads and ongoing urban and economic expansion. This decline is attributed to efforts to conserve electricity, including reduced working hours in government institutions and shutting down factories during peak times, as well as the national "Save" campaign that strengthened a culture of conservation within the community. Results indicated that awareness and energy efficiency strategies have led to a continuous reduction in loads for the second consecutive year, despite the exceptional circumstances the country faced due to regional developments and Iranian attacks on the power system. Additionally, between summer 2024 and summer 2026, a total of 2,078 megawatts of new electrical capacity was added, alongside strategic projects to enhance grid capabilities and develop infrastructure, ensuring a sustainable power supply to support ongoing population and economic growth.
