By using a combination of renewable energy technologies and battery storage, Kuwait can create a more stable and reliable electricity grid. This will help to meet the country''s growing electricity
As the unit rate for solar energy investment is reducing year-on-year, a decrease in capital does not represent a slowdown in the industry (Figure 2). Instead, this indicates the price decline in renewable energy technologies as the amount of gigawatts installed remain high. Investments in storage solutions, grid Interconnectivities and CSP, considered to have greater priorities
Kuwait still has a way to go on its energy transition, industry experts say, despite the announcement of a 20-year renewables strategy. Salem Al-Hajraf, minister of electricity, water and renewable energy, said on March 7 that the country is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050.

Kuwait Energy Company is an Oil & Gas company with extensive knowledge of the Middle East region and outstanding relations with host governments, national oil companies, and international companies that operate in the Middle East.
Electricity is also heavily subsidised, which has limited the development of Kuwait’s renewables market. Kuwait holds about 7 percent of global oil reserves and has one of the lowest crude oil production costs of around $10 per barrel.
“This is a pity, as Kuwait has not only good solar resources but also wind, and, as it uses large amounts of fuel oil and imported liquefied natural gas, renewables would save on air pollution and reduce costs substantially,” Mills says.
Kuwait, Opec’s fifth-largest oil producer but long a laggard in the energy transition, is taking steps to catch up with its neighbouring Gulf states and ease reliance on falling oil revenues.
