Top developers in race for mega Kuwait solar project
On completion, it will boast a net power capacity of 1,100 MW. The winning bidder will undertake the construction and implementation of power, electricity and water desalination
In the context of The Shagaya project, the integration of solar power into Kuwait's existing grid infrastructure requires intricate planning to ensure stability and reliability. Additionally, considerations such as equipment procurement, maintenance, and quality control play pivotal roles in overcoming technical hurdles.
The Project lies within the administrative boundary of the Jahra Governorate in the west of Kuwait City, approximately 100 kilometers from the capital city. The Project will export the output from the plant to Kuwait's electricity grid and transmission network.
Kuwait's overarching energy strategy aims to fulfil 15% of its energy demand through renewable sources by 2030, achieve a 12% reduction in domestic consumption by 2035, and decrease CO 2 emissions by 33% by 2035 (Alsayegh 2021).
The principal consumers of electricity and water in Kuwait are the oil industry and the transportation sector, followed by residential and commercial users (Alsayegh 2021; Alsayegh et al. 2018; Al-Abdullah et al. 2021).
