We examine the energy sector in Kuwait today, from the upstream supply sector, to mid-stream conversion systems, to downstream demand. This KEO also provides an outlook for energy demand and supply to 2035 and the associated implications.
Kuwait has a soft target of increasing the share of renewables in total energy demand to about 15% by 2030, up from less than 1% today. The potential for increasing the share of renewables in the electricity generation mix in Kuwait is huge, given its substantial solar and wind resources. Central Statistics Ofice,
To address one of the highest rates of per capita energy consumption globally, the government of Kuwait is taking a multi-pronged approach involving the reduction of subsidies following the rollout of incentives for green energy solutions and national energy efficiency initiatives in 2016-17.
The energy conservation code put in force in 1983 in Kuwait lacked effective monitoring, verification and enforcement. The 1983 code was not revised for 27 years, and the buildings sector is a major source of ineficient energy consumption, with a very large stock of energy-ineficient buildings.
This could be facilitated through more coordination and collaboration between energy players within Kuwait and improving the institutional capacity for data collection. The lack of collaboration and expertise contribute to long delays in receiving feedback and data from energy entities. The situation, however, is expected to improve.
To ensure economic development and social prosperity in the years to come, Kuwait will require a new energy strategy, combined with a plan to foster economic diversification and reduce fossil fuel dependency.
Kuwaiti citizens account for 30% of the total population, but they use about two-thirds of the total amount of energy consumed in the country. Average temperatures hover in the upper 40so Celsius during summer months. Over the past few years, these “summer” months have extended from April to October.
