Kuwait targets 26-27% renewable energy in 2028
Kuwait expects its renewable energy share of the total power generation to reach 26-27 percent in 2028 after the Shagaya solar power complex is completed, a Minister has said.
A Chinese company will execute phases 3 and 4 of the project which was launched a few years ago, said Subaih Al-Mukhaizeem, Minister of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy.
The Shagaya project, spread over 84 square km, is nearly 100 km west of the capital Kuwait City and comprises multiple renewable technologies and grid infrastructure.
In March 2025, a report by Saudi English language newspaper Arab News said the Ministry had signed an agreement with China's National Energy Administration to oversee the implementation of Shagaya and Al-Abdiliya solar power plant projects.
The report, quoting KUNA, said each project will have a joint production capacity of 3,500 MW, with the potential to expand to 5,000 MW.
