GCC Plans Expansion of Power and Water Links
The Gulf Cooperation Council's proposals to enhance electrical and water interconnections among its member states aim to increase sustainability and meet the growing demand for electricity and water. Electricity production in 2025 reached approximately 876,000 gigawatt-hours, an increase of 9.6% compared to the previous year, while produced desalinated water amounted to 8.5 billion cubic meters, a rise of 10.8%. The report also showed that financial savings from the electrical interconnection exceeded $952 million in 2025, with total savings since the project's launch surpassing $5.2 billion, thereby strengthening energy security and expanding energy trade among Gulf countries. The plan emphasizes accelerating water and electricity interconnection projects to improve efficiency and bolster preparedness in facing crises.
