SEE Holding, EnerTech to build Sustainable City in Kuwait

SEE Holding, a sustainably-focused global holding group aiming to spearhead a net zero emissions future, has joined forces with EnerTech, a Kuwait-based innovator, investor, and developer of end-to-end sustainable solutions, to develop a sustainable city in Kuwait.

The new development, which will be modeled on the lines of its already successful pioneering projects in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Oman (Yiti), aims to redefine urban living in Kuwait, enabling residents to significantly reduce their environmental impact with innovative clean energy, waste management, and resource conservation solutions as well as delivering social and economic sustainability.

Unveiling the strategic plans for Kuwait, SEE Holding said the new Sustainable City will generate 120% of its energy requirements from clean energy, produce 50% of its food requirements, and implement a zero-waste strategy.

This strategy includes plans for on-site waste sorting and a biogas plant to process organic waste to avoid landfills.

Additionally, the city's water management strategy involves treating and reusing 100% of its water for irrigation to ensure efficient resource utilization.

The envisioned sustainable city, poised to set a new global benchmark for sustainable urban development, will feature an advanced 16MWp solar energy system.

The renewable energy-based system will generate 100 percent of the city’s energy requirements, as well
