Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. Kuwait is negotiating a major battery storage project with a discharge capacity of up to 1.5 gigawatts and total energy storage of between 4 and 6 gigawatt-hours, in a bid to ease chronic power shortages, a senior electricity ministry official said on Monday.
The battery storage initiative is part of a broader push to stabilise Kuwait's grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuels during peak demand periods. If implemented, it would mark one of the largest energy storage deployments in the region.
It also reflects the country's efforts to enhance national energy security, as reported by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). The Jazah offshore field, situated in Kuwait's territorial waters, spans an estimated area of approximately 40 square kilometers (about 15 square miles).
Kuwait has been intensifying exploration and production activities beyond its traditional oil sector. The aim is to satisfy increasing gas consumption in power generation, industry, and desalination. This effort also seeks to reduce dependence on imported liquefied natural gas, especially during peak summer months.
In a key move to strengthen electricity resilience and tackle chronic supply constraints, Kuwait is in negotiations to develop a major battery-storage project with a discharge capacity of up to
