KUWAIT CITY, July 11: The Board of Directors of the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) floated a tender for consultancy services related to studies and the operation of the electrical grid in the Control and Monitoring Centers Sector. Through this tender, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy aims to train national personnel in preparing operational and planning studies for the electrical grid, in addition to conducting the studies required by the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA), thus, enhancing Kuwait’s participation.
The ministry is keen on supporting the work of the electricity transmission network and power station sectors by engaging consultants to prepare specialized studies related to protection systems in electricity transmission stations and others specific to power stations. This will contribute to the efficient and safe operation of the electrical system, particularly during the summer season.
