Our current projections estimate renewable capacity will only reach 3.3 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, just 7% of Kuwait's power generation, with a renewables share of 15% by 2035, a more realistic target. By that time, renewable capacity is expected to exceed 11 GW, accounting for around 20% of Kuwait's power generation.
Rystad Energy's analysis indicates that Kuwaiti gas power generation is set to increase by 17% to 77 terawatt-hours (TWh) by 2030. As a result, gas production is expected to rise by 38%, while overall gas demand is forecast to increase by 30% in the next five years.
Kuwait is focused on reducing domestic oil consumption by gradually replacing oil with gas in its power generation mix, which currently accounts for 40% of its energy needs. The main goal is to free up more crude for export, as oil sales remain the backbone of Kuwait's economy and provide the bulk of its government revenue.
Around 40% of this demand is met through LNG imports, while associated gas production supplies about 35%. This reliance on associated gas exposes Kuwait to OPEC+ crude output cuts, directly affecting gas availability.
Kuwait is grappling with relentless heat, aging infrastructure and unplanned power outages, prompting major investments in grid reliability. Today, renewables account for less than 1%
