Bid to meet energy demands of new cities

KUWAIT CITY, June 5: A report issued by the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy revealed a plan that includes the establishment of eight future plants to produce 17,300 megawatts to ensure the country's needs of electricity and water in the face of the “Kuwait 2035” Vision and the increasing demand, which is expected to reach 30,000 megawatts during the next 15 years. The report, a copy of which has been obtained by the Al-Seyassah daily, clarified that the ministry has begun to raise the production of electrical energy in anticipation of the expected rise in demand during the coming years by building new stations, pointing out that these accelerated steps come as a result of the construction and expansion of new residential cities.
