KUWAIT CITY, Jan 27: Kuwait's Minister of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy, as well as Minister of State for Housing Affairs, Dr. Salem Al-Hajraf, reiterates the nation's dedication to expanding the deployment of renewable energy projects. This commitment aims to realize Kuwait's vision of generating a minimum of 15% of electrical energy during peak times from renewable sources by the year 2030.
In a press statement issued on Friday, coinciding with International Clean Energy Day, Minister Al-Hajraf underscores the urgency in advancing the Al-Shagaya renewable energy project.
