Some parts of the Al-Mirqab area experience a power outage after a transformer station failure.
KUWAIT CITY, May 30: The Electricity Transmission Networks Sector at the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy included the supply and installation of 31 major transformer stations in its plan for the current fiscal year. The project aims to meet rising electricity demand through the expansion of high-voltage and extra-high-voltage transmission networks. The expansion is in line with ongoing efforts to keep pace with the annual population growth and the implementation of new residential development projects. In a related development, the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) recently floated a tender for the operation and maintenance of electricity transmission networks.
A total of six bids were submitted and are currently under evaluation by the ministry. Following the issuance of the award decision, the technical review process is expected to be completed within 30 days in accordance with the regulations and standards. The tender is part of the strategy of the ministry to strengthen and modernize the national electricity grid. These upgrades aim to ensure that the network is fully equipped to handle increasing power consumption and operational challenges, particularly during the peak summer season.
