Consultant contract for Nuwaiseeb power project is given a green light by CAPT
Alright, let's break down the Nuwaiseeb power project situation in an easy-to-understand manner, shall we? The Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) has given the green light to the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy to hunt for a consultant for the initial phase of the Nuwaiseeb power project.
This project aims to set up gas turbine units operating under the combined cycle system, with an intended output capacity of 3,600 megawatts. It's worth noting that this is the first major electricity and water generation project by the ministry since such ventures hit a pause in 2012.
Folks within the ministry shared some deets, hinting that this move to secure a consultant is a significant stride in pushing forward the Nuwaiseeb Station Project, which has already bagged the Kuwait Municipality's land approval and the necessary regulatory green lights.
The ministry honchos are eager to get this consultant selection process moving swiftly, laying the groundwork for the project's tender docs. Moreover, the government has ordered the relevant oversight bodies to speed up the procedures tied to the Ministry of Electricity and Water's projects to beef up Kuwait's electricity and water production capacity.
In a related development, it looks like Kuwait's strategic water reserve is on the mend, thanks to the fix-up of distillation units that were undergoing some maintenance. As of now, the reserve is at a whopping 59% capacity, with officials hopeful that it'll climb above 70% before the month's end.
Now, as for the specifics on the production capacity or the timeline for project completion, those juicy bits aren't provided in the info we have at the moment. A bit more patience will be needed for precise updates or official announcements from the relevant Kuwaiti authorities. But for now, we're stoked to see things moving forward!
