Kuwait initiates annual maintenance of power plants to cater to summer energy needs
The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy has announced that it will launch its annual maintenance program for power generation units and water plants next week. This program is aimed at securing adequate electricity supply for the summer season in the city.
According to the latest reports, the ministry will begin removing its first units for maintenance according to a set schedule. However, no specific dates for the removal of the first units or the completion of the maintenance program were mentioned.
The maintenance program is designed to address various issues, although the specific nature of these issues was not disclosed. Thorough maintenance is aimed at avoiding recurring shutdowns, particularly in aging units long slated for decommissioning in the city.
The ministry is relying on the readiness of production units to meet the challenges of next summer in the city. Discussions are focused on the timetable for meeting the electricity and water needs of the planned Nawaf Al-Ahmad, Al-Sabriya, and Al-Khairan cities.
To ensure a smooth maintenance process, the ministry has prepared a plan that includes an agreement with the Gulf Interconnection Network to purchase 900 megawatts during the maintenance period. This agreement will allow more units to undergo both radical and preventive maintenance as planned in the city.
In addition, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy is coordinating with the Housing Care Foundation to address the electricity requirements of new residential cities in the city. However, no specific information was provided about the planned names of these cities in the city.
Measures adopted this summer had already eased shortages and will support further solutions underway in the city. The ministry did not provide any information about the contingency plans in case of unexpected delays in the maintenance program in the city. Furthermore, no new information was provided about the number of units to be maintained or the scope of the maintenance program in the city.
It is worth noting that the ministry did not disclose any plans to address potential water supply issues in the new residential cities in the city. The article did not mention any potential impact of the maintenance program on electricity supply during the maintenance period in the city.
Despite these uncertainties, the ministry remains optimistic about its ability to meet the electricity and water needs of the country during the upcoming summer season in the city. The ministry's commitment to thorough maintenance is a testament to its dedication to providing reliable services to the public in the city.
