Why the Project?
“In the field of renewable energy, the State of Kuwait
attached great concern to the diversification of its
energy sources, where the concerned entities started
the executive phases of an ambitious plan for using
wind and solar energy aiming to raise the percentage
of using this energy to 1% of the total energy usage in
Kuwait in 2015, and up to 15% in 2030.”
- H.H. Amir of the State of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al
Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah - COP 18

Projects to Meet the Amir’s Vision
To meet The Amir’s vision, Al-Shagaya
Renewable Energy Park, comprising 3
phases, has been established near Al-
Salmi Road in West Kuwait. The three
phases are as follows:
Phase 1: KISR – 70MW. 50 MW CSP,
10 MW Solar PV, and 10 MW Wind
Phase 2: KNPC – Al-Dibdibah.
1,500MWAC. 100% Solar PV
Phase 3: Handled by KAPP. Capacity of
at least 2,000 MW. It will have Solar PV,
CSP, and wind Phase 1

About the Project
• The project will cause the reduction of approximately 2.1 million tons of CO2
equivalent emissions per year and cause fuel savings of approximately 6.2 million
equivalent barrels of oil per year
• The requirement is to generate 3,150 GWh in year 25 of operation within 32 sq. km
• This translates to an estimated capacity of around 1,500 MWAC
• It is estimated that around 6 million solar panels will be used
9
About the Project
• The project also comprises 5 Solar Generating Units (SGUs), including 5
substations connected to Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) Transmission
Substation
• The project comprises 160 km of Overhead Transmission Lines, all the way from
Al-Shagaya to MEW Power Station in Al-Subiya
• Power will be transmitted at 400 kV
10
About the Project
• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between KNPC and MEW
• The project is currently in the Bidding Stage
• Commencement to Commercial Operation: 24 months
• Operation and Maintenance: 25 years
• Kuwaitization of jobs will be applicable per Kuwaiti Laws to ensure Transfer of Knowledge
